Which pair of hormones is secreted by the hypothalamus?
- ATSH and ACTH
- BGnRH and Somatotropin
- Correct answerCADH and Oxytocin
- DCorticotropin and Somatotropin
Solution
The hypothalamus synthesizes two hormones, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. These hormones are transported axonally to the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary), where they are stored and released into the blood.
TSH, ACTH, and Somatotropin (Growth Hormone) are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
GnRH is secreted by the hypothalamus, but Somatotropin is secreted by the anterior pituitary.
Answer: ADH and Oxytocin
TSH, ACTH, and Somatotropin (Growth Hormone) are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
GnRH is secreted by the hypothalamus, but Somatotropin is secreted by the anterior pituitary.
Answer: ADH and Oxytocin
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
