Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The paracrine method involves diffusion of hormones through interstitial fluids to act locally. Endorphins produce pain relief in this manner. The paracrine method does not release hormones directly into the blood stream, through the neuroendocrine route, or through cell extension into the posterior pituitary.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
The anterior pituitary produces adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, the gonadotropin hormones which are follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, growth hormone, and prolactin. Oxytocin is produced in the posterior pituitary.
