QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
Growth Hormone and Prolactin are hormones which are comprised of single-chain polypeptides with disulfide bridges
10009576
b
Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) and LH are made up of single-chain polypeptides connected via disulfide bridges
QuestionChoice
Prolactin stimulates the mammary glands to produce lactation and promote the growth and development of the breasts. Follicle stimulating hormone will stimulate follicular development rather than stimulating ovulation. A surge of LH acts to trigger ovulation.

c
Prolactin and FSH act to stimulate steroid hormone synthesis in the Gonads and within Females, causing ovulation
QuestionChoice
Thyroid stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotrophic hormone do not work together, they work independently as TSH stimulates the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones and ACTH will stimulate the synthesis and release of cortisol.

d
TSH and ACTH are working synergistically to stimulate the mammary glands to produce lactation
QuestionChoice
This is incorrect because TSH is released from the anterior pituitary via the process of **exocytosis**

e
When TSH is produced within the anterior pituitary, it is released via endocytosis
