Hormones that control the function of the anterior pituitary gland are released from the

a) Thalamus: Relay center for sensory signals, not involved in hormone secretion.

b) Hypothalamus: Releases releasing and inhibiting hormones (e.g., TRH, GnRH, CRH) that regulate the anterior pituitary's activity.

c) Basal ganglia: Involved in motor control, not endocrine regulation.

d) Spinal cord: Transmits nerve signals; no role in endocrine control of the pituitary.

e) Hippocampus:Acrucial brain structure involved inmemory formation, spatial navigation, and emotional regulation.

a) The anterior pituitary produces testosterone from cholesterol and releases it when releasing hormones arrive from the hypothalamus.
Testosterone is produced in the testes, not the anterior pituitary.

b) The hypothalamus produces ADH and oxytocin which are stored in the posterior pituitary.
ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus and then transported to and stored in the posterior pituitary until needed.

c) The posterior pituitary contains autonomic centers that exert neural control over the adrenal glands.
The hypothalamus, not the posterior pituitary, regulates the adrenal medulla via neural signals.

d) The thalamus produces ADH and oxytocin which are stored in the anterior pituitary.
The thalamus is a relay station for sensory signals, not a hormone-producing structure.
