Which of the following statements about the hypothalamus and pituitary gland is true? A. The anterior pituitary gland synthesizes and secretes releasing and release-inhibiting hormones that regulate hormone production and secretion by the hypothalamus. B. The hypothalamus synthesizes and secretes releasing and release-inhibiting hormones that regulate hormone production and secretion by the anterior pituitary gland. C. The anterior pituitary gland is an extension (a downgrowth) of the hypothalamus that contains neurosecretory neurons. D. The hypothalamus has two lobes - an anterior lobe and a posterior lobe. E. The hypothalamus secretes releasing and release-inhibiting hormones that regulate hormone synthesis and secretion by the posterior pituitary gland.

Releasing and inhibiting hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary, posterior pituitary, adrenal cortex, and hypothalamus. The neurohormone which decreases urination to save water for the body is ADH.
