Detailed explanation-1: -Final Answer: Cortisone hormone is not secreted by the pituitary gland.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Oxytocin’
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxytocin is a hormone that influences uterine contractions, lactation, and it also acts on our brain to modify our social behaviours. Like ADH, oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary gland, not by the anterior lobe. Growth hormone, however, is released by the anterior pituitary gland.
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.
