_ hormone is released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Correct answer: D. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- A. Adrenaline
- B. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
- C. FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone)
- D. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
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 Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
