This document summarizes the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and their functions. It notes that the anterior pituitary contains five types of cells that secrete important hormones: somatotrophs that secrete growth hormone, thyrotrophs that secrete TSH, gonadotrophs that secrete FSH and LH, lactotrophs that secrete prolactin, and corticotrophs that secrete ACTH. It describes the roles of key hormones like growth hormone, TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin, and ACTH. It also explains that the secretions of these hormones are regulated by releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus through negative feedback mechanisms.
