Choose five statements that are true about the pituitary gland. Group of answer choices Pituitary gland is located at the anterior part of the neck There are two parts of the pituitary gland, anterior and posterior Pituitary gland produces hormones to control other endocrine glands The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain Pituitary gland does not have control on other endocrine glands It is pituitary gland that secretes insulin Pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin from its anterior portion It secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) which acts on the ovaries and testes If the pituitary is damaged growth may be affected

Indicate whether the following statements about the pituitary glands are TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true 1. The anterior and posterior pituitary glands are responsible for producing and releasing hormones. 2. The posterior pituitary gland is regulated by the hypothalamus via a positive feedback loop. 3. The hypothalamus regulates the release of cortisol via the sympathetic nervous system and that of epinephrine via the parasympathetic nervous system. 4. The releasing hormones from the hypothalamus stimulate the production of stimulating hormones and human growth hormone.
