Question

Which of the following hormones released from the pituitary is actually synthesized in the hypothalamus?

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(d) : Neurohypophysis or pars nervosa also known as posterior pituitary, stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin/ anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). These hormones are actually synthesised by the neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus and are transported axonally to neurohypophysis.
