Answer:

The correct answer is ACTH(adrenal corticotrophic hormone).

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is also called the master gland because it controls the regulation of many glands by secreting hormones. Many times hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release hormones that stimulate other glands.

One such hormone which is secreted by anterior pituitary is ACTH. ACTH is released when corticotrophin-releasing hormone released from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland. ACTH hormone then stimulates the cortical region of the adrenal cortex to produce a hormone cortisol which plays several important roles in our body like stress control, regulation sleep-wake cycle, etc.
