C. somatostatin.

D. somatotropin.

E. somatomedin.

5. Gonadotrophs create hormones that:

A. promote growth and maturation of follicles and spermatogenesis.

B. induce retention of body fluids in the system.

C. stimulate milk production and ejection from the mammary gland.

D. cause release of hormones from the adrenal gland.

ANSWERS

1. Correct Answer: D. The hypothalamus. The hormones are then brought to

the cells of the adenohypophysis via the hypothalamohypophyseal portal
system.

2. Correct Answer: D. The hypothalamohypophyseal portal system. This
system connects the neurons of the hypothalamus with the cells in the

adenohypophysis.

3. Correct Answer: B. Oxytocin and vasopressin (ADH). These hormones are
stored in the axon terminals until needed by the organism.

4. Correct Answer: D. Somatotropin. This is the growth hormone that affects
the entire body’s development and growth.

5. Correct Answer: A. Promote growth and maturation of follicles and

spermatogenesis. The hormones from these cells affect the growth and
development of sex organs in both sexes.
