Which of the following is true for a hypothalamic hormone? Question 22 options: a) LH (luteinizing hormone) is synthesized in advance and stored in secretory vesicles. b) CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone) is carried by portal veins to the anterior pituitary. c) Following its release, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is carried by the circulatory system to its target organ, the adrenal gland.

The hormones that come from the posterior pituitary Multiple Choice a. are synthesized in the hypothalamus and are released from the posterior pituitary when nerve signals arrive. b. are synthesized in the anterior pituitary and are transported to and from the posterior pituitary by the primary and secondary plexus. c. are synthesized in the posterior pituitary and released by the anterior pituitary by way of the hypophyseal portal system. d. are synthesized there and are released upon signals from the anterior pituitary.

All of the following are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and are hormones that control the activities of other endocrine glands, except for … A. adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). B. antidiuretic hormone (ADH; vasopressin). C. follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). D. thyrotropin (TSH). E. luteinizing hormone (LH).

Several hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus target the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. These hormones travel from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland within the hypophyseal portal system. The hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract connects the hypothalamus to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. The hormone produced by cells in the hypothalamus is ADH. The anterior pituitary hormone that has a primary target that is not an endocrine gland is growth hormone.
