Assertion (A): | Hypothalamus is connected to the posterior lobe of the pituitary by hypophyseal portal veins |
Reason (R): | The hypophyseal portal arteries carry blood from the hypothalamus to the neurohypophysis |

3. | somatostatin | 4. | somatotropin |
Assertion (A): | The hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones that directly stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete its own specific hormones. |
Reason (R): | The anterior pituitary secretes hormones into the bloodstream that act directly on the hypothalamus to inhibit further hormone secretion. |
