MSH is produced from___________?
Correct answer: B. Median pituitary
- A. Anterior pituitary
- B. Median pituitary
- C. Posterior pituitary
- D. None of these
Explanation
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone is produced mainly by the pars intermedia, or intermediate lobe, of the pituitary gland. In this question, median pituitary refers to this intermediate region. The likely alternative is anterior pituitary because many major hormones come from it, but MSH is associated with the intermediate lobe.

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.
