Respuesta :

Hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary gland are made in the hypothalamus.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Let's see all the options in details:

Option A: Cerebellum

  • vital role in physical movement.
  • for maintaining posture, balance and motor learning.

Option B: Thalamus

  • it transmits signal between the midbrain and cerebral cortex.
  • regulates alertness, sleep and it's the body's information relay station.

Option C: Hypothalamus

  • Hormones secreted by posterior lobe of pituitary gland are made in hypothalamus.
  • It's is stored in pituitary gland and released into blood.
  • Hormones are Vasopressin (ADH) and Oxytocin.

                    1) Vasopressin: to control urine output

                    2) Oxytocin: brings contraction of uterine wall to fecilitate child birth.

  • Production of hormone by neuronal cells of hypothalamus.

Option D: Anterior pituitary gland

  • pituitary glands have two lobes that is anterior front lobe and posterior back lobe.
  • responsible for secreting ACTH, FSH, LH, GH, TSH and prolactin.
