Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus synthesizes two hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH).

These hormones are transported axonally to the neurohypophysis (pars nervosa or posterior pituitary), where they are stored and released into the blood.

FSH, LH, TSH, STH, and prolactin are synthesized and secreted by the pars distalis (anterior pituitary).

Answer: Vasopressin and oxytocin
