How many of the given statements are correct?
I: Prolactin regulates the growth of the mammary glands and formation of milk in them.
II: TSH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland.
III: ACTH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of aminated hormones called catecholamines from the adrenal cortex.
IV: LH and FSH stimulate growth of accessory sex organs and hence are called gonadotrophins.
