Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The hypothalamic gland is known to secrete two kinds of hormones: Releasing hormones like GnRH and inhibiting hormones, like somatostatin.
The thyroid gland is responsible for the production and release of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
The pituitary gland is divided into two portions called the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis.
Hormones of the adenohypophysis include:
Pars distalis (anterior pituitary) - Growth hormone (GH), Prolactin (PRL), Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Pars intermedia - Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH).
Hormones of the neurohypophysis (Pars nervosa or Posterior pituitary) include oxytocin and vasopressin (or ADH).
