ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Oxytocin’

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and is secreted into the bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland. Secretion depends on electrical activity of neurons in the hypothalamus – it is released into the blood when these cells are excited.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH or corticotropin). Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Growth hormone (GH).

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxytocin is a natural hormone that manages key aspects of the female and male reproductive systems, including labor and delivery and lactation, as well as aspects of human behavior. Your hypothalamus makes oxytocin, but your posterior pituitary gland stores and releases it into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-5: -The posterior pituitary stores and releases just two of the many hormones your pituitary gland is responsible for: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin).
