Follicle stimulating hormone - - In females: Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates
the follicle to develop

FSH looks like the word FiSH and sperm swimming look like fish. So FSH helps development of sperm.

- Males: making men look Large and Hairy (L and H, just like LH)—testosterone makes men Large and Hairy, and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates testosterone production.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - - stimulates the adrenal gland to release corticosteroids
Aldosterone - - functions to increase salt and water reabsorption back into the body, as well as secretion of potassium into the filtrate in the distal tubules and collecting duct of the kidneys
Adrenal CORTEX - produces corticosteroids such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - - stimulates the thyroid gland to release its thyroid hormones: triiodothyoronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) DAT Last Minute Review questions and answers Thyroid hormones - - increase the metabolic rate of cells
