Chapter 11, Problem 1RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The true statement about hypothalamus-releasing hormones.
Introduction:
The pituitary gland is regarded as the master gland of the endocrine system as it regulates the secretion from other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is stimulated by the hypothalamus which is a part of the forebrain. The anterior pituitary region secretes various stimulating hormones whereas, the posterior pituitary releases the stored hormones into the bloodstream.
