Which of the following are correctly paired? oxytocin - stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth via a positive feedback mechanism. Cells of the Hypothalamus - produce the hormones that will be secreted by the posterior pituitary gland none of the answers are correct TSH - stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3/T4. ACTH - stimulates the release of glucocorticoids (e.g. Cortisol) from the adrenal gland Melatonin - important in the diurnal cycle (day-night cycle).
