Hormones stored and released from neurohypophysis are:
1. Thyroid-stimulating hormone and Oxytocin
2. Oxytocin and Vasopressin
3. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
4. Prolactin and Vasopressin
The posterior pituitary gland is not a 'true' endocrine gland because:
1. it is provided with a duct
2. it only stores and releases hormones
3. it is under the regulation of hypothalamus
4. it secretes enzymes
Which one of the following hormones though synthesised elsewhere, is stored and released by the master gland?
1. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
2. Antidiuretic hormone
3. Luteinizing hormone
4. Prolactin
Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the function.
