Q. Which among the following statements are correct?
1. Releasing hormones secreted by hypothalamic neurons are transported dendronally to anterior pituitary.
2. Neurohormones synthesised by hypothalamus are transported axonally to neurohypophysis.
3. Neurohypophysis, i.e., posterior pituitary secretes two hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.
4. Milk secretion in mammary gland is a function of prolactin.

Chemical Coordination and Integration

Solution:

Neurohormones of hypothalamus are transported through axon. Neurohypophysis store oxytocin and vasopressin but does not secrete it. On the other hand, prolactin stimulates production and secretion of milk from mammary glands.
