Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each hormone listed in the options: ACTH, TSH, LH, and GH.
Understand that the thyroid gland is responsible for producing thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Recognize that Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is specifically responsible for stimulating the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones.
Differentiate TSH from other hormones: ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex, LH is involved in reproductive processes, and GH promotes growth and cell reproduction.
Conclude that the hormone that stimulates the release of thyroid hormones is Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
