Answer 1

1). stimulates ovulation; maintains corpus luteum -------> LH (luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary is necessary for the ovulation to occur. )

2). stimulates release of hormones from adrenal cortex ----> ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior pituitary)   

3). promotes breakdown of glycogen to release of glucose ------> Glucagon (from the pancreas)

4). stimulates development of ovarian follicles -----> FSH (follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary)

5). stimulates spermatogenesis; development of 2◦ male characteristics ----> Testosterone (from the testes)   

6). increases levels of blood calcium -----> PTH (parathyroid hormone from the thyroid gland)

7). stimulates release of pancreas digestive enzymes, gallbladder contractions ----> CCK (cholecystokinin)
