Which Hormones are Produced by the Hypothalamus to Control the Adenohypophysis

Question

Which hormones are produced by the hypothalamus to control the adenohypophysis?
A)Tropic hormones
B)Releasing hormones
C)Melanocyte-stimulating hormones
D)Basophils

Accepted Answer

The hormones produced by the hypothalamus to control the adenohypophysis are releasing hormones, which stimulate the release of specific hormones from the adenohypophysis. Examples include thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
