Oxytocin - Hypophysis

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. $ACTH$ (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) are secreted by the adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland. Oxytocin is synthesized by the hypothalamus and stored/released by the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis),not the hypophysis (which generally refers to the entire pituitary gland). Therefore,the pairing of Oxytocin with 'hypophysis' is imprecise compared to the specific anatomical source,making it the incorrect pair in this context.
