_ hormone is released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Correct answer: D. Antidiuretic hormone
- A. Adrenaline
- B. Thyroid stimulating hormone
- C. FSH
- D. Antidiuretic hormone
Explanation
The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland produces two hormones, vasopressin (Antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin. Adrenaline is released from the adrenal glands and its major action, together with noradrenaline, is to prepare the body for 'fight or flight'. Thyroid-stimulating hormone, also known as TSH, is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

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.
