Good quiz! Only thing I would say is to maybe accept (nor)adrenaline and oestrogen for those of us who don't use American spelling.

Nice! Great tool for studying for my vertebrate physiology class. Although, I would maybe accept thyroxine along with T3 and T4. Also, I would accept Thyroid stimulating hormone. I thought I kept misspelling that one, but it wouldn't take it.

There is no such thing as "releasing" or "inhibiting" hormone from the hypothalamus. That's too broad to be a question - each hormone from the pituitary has it's own releasing hormone and inhibiting hormone (e.g. prolactin release is stimulated by thyrotropin releasing hormone and inhibited by dopamine, aka prolactin-inhibiting factor/hormone).

Also, it's luteinizing hormone, not "leutinising"

what about thyroxin and triiodothyronine instead of T3 and T4?
