Question

question 9 (1 point)
the posterior pituitary secretes:
a) oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone
b) thyroid - stimulating and adrenocorticotropic hormone
c) insulin and glucagons
d) growth hormone and prolactin
question 10 (1 point)
release of controlling hormones by the anterior pituitary is regulated by:
a) neural control from the hypothalamus
b) a negative feedback system
c) none of these
d) both of these

Explanation:

• Question 9: The posterior pituitary gland stores and releases two hormones: oxytocin (involved in uterine contractions and milk - ejection reflex) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, which regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys).
• Question 10: The anterior pituitary's hormone release is regulated by both neural control from the hypothalamus (releasing and inhibiting hormones) and a negative feedback system (where the end - product of a hormonal pathway can inhibit further hormone release).

Answer:

• Question 9: A. oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone
• Question 10: D. both of these
