All of the following hormones are secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland BUT:
Correct answer: C. Antidiuretic hormone
- A. Somatotropin hormone
- B. Thyroid stimulating hormone
- C. Antidiuretic hormone
- D. Gonadotrophic hormone
Explanation
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. The anterior pituitary gland produces six major hormones: (1) prolactin (PRL), (2) growth hormone (GH), (3) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), (4) luteinizing hormone (LH), (5) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and (6) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The somatotropin hormone is also called the growth hormone.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
