Anterior Pituitary (a student's poem)



If you're wondering about this article,
Its a cheap poem about the obvious title.
Anterior pituitary, my title says,
That endocrine gland's function and nothing else.

Oh wait, let my mind be at fix,
I'll also gonna tell that hormones are six.
I will describe each one of them,
Like looking at six leaves of a single stem.

Anterior and posterior pituitary are controlled by hypothalamus,
Like students controlled by the principal in a campus.
Posterior pituitary have ADH and oxytocin,
While anterior pituitary have GH, ACTH, TSH, LH and prolactin.

This poem's focus is anterior pituitary,
And I have already done my introductory.
I'll start with the growth hormone,
Responsible for the growth of my body and bones.

The prolactin on the other hand,
Responsible for milk secretion as seen in the mammary gland.
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone or just the plain ACTH,
Is like a magic of adrenal formation and secretion from a pituitary gland mage.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),
Both stimulates formation and secretion just like girls stimulated by the music of Boyzone.
Lastly, luteinizing hormone for the adrenal gland,
Targets ovaries (girls) and testes (boys), thank God for creating this plan.

Anterior pituitary, I can't say no more,
I'll stop now, because I'm sure, your eyes do sore.
Oh God, I am tired, so please listen to my prayer,
I'm a medtech student and I don't want to be a poem maker.
