Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

Growth Hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin, is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration, particularly in bones and skeletal muscle. Overproduction in childhood leads to gigantism, while underproduction leads to pituitary dwarfism. TSH, ACTH, and FSH are other anterior pituitary hormones with different target organs.
