Endocrine system

Hey Dad! Did you know the pituitary gland controls many hormones? The anterior lobe controls most of the hormones. Yeah I know, right! The Thyroid-stimulating hormone targets the thyroid which triggers other hormones. Very fascinating. Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulates the release of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex and it affects glucose metabolism. Plus the Gonadotropins contain FSH and LH which is for little girls like me and androgens for little boys. GH helps me grow by synthesizing and releasing somatomedins. And don't forget PRL stimulate the mammary gland development . Mommy saw this when I was in her tummy. And MSH causes my skin to glow. Hey! Wait there is another lobe! Its posterior. It only has two hormones, ADH and Oxytocin. Make sure you tell Dad!
