Somatostatin from the hypothalamus:
1. stimulates secretion of insulin and glucagon by pancreas
2. inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagon by pancreas
3. stimulates secretion of growth hormone from anterior pituitary
4. inhibits secretion of growth hormone from anterior pituitary

The only hormone secreted by pars intermedia of hypophysis is:
1. MSH | 2. GnRH |
3. Vasopressin | 4. Prolactin |
Pars distalis is:
1. | the posterior lobe of pituitary made of neural tissue |
2. | the well developed intermediate lobe of pituitary in humans |
3. | the major part of the adenohypophysis |
4. | the connection between anterior pituitary and hypothalamus |
All the following hormones are produced by anterior pituitary except:
1. Gonadotropins | 2. ACTH |
3. Prolactin | 4. Melatonin |
ADH and oxytocin are synthesized by:
1. Anterior pituitary | 2. Hypothalamus |
3. Pars intermedia | 4. Pars nervosa |
1. Hypophysis | 2. Hypothalamus |
3. Corpora quadrigemina | 4. Mammillary body |
The releasing hormones and inhibitory hormones secreted by hypothalamus reach anterior pituitary by:
1. | portal circulation | 2. | axons |
3. | general circulation | 4. | lymph |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. |
MSH |
Regulation of pigmentation of skin |
2. |
Oxytocin |
Parturition and milk ejection |
3. |
ADH |
Increases water loss through urine |
4. |
Thymosins |

Consider the functions given:
I. Stimulation of synthesis of androgens
II. Regulation of spermatogenesis
III. Induction of ovulation
IV. Maintenance of corpus luteum
The functions of LH will include:
1. I, II and III only | 2. I, III and IV only |
3. II, III and IV only | 4. I, II, III and IV |
