Question 1
Several hormones are synthesized in the hypothalamus and transported to the anterior pituitary gland. The mechanism of transportation from hypothalamus to anterior pituitary gland is through the ________.
◦ general circulatory system
◦ hepatic portal system
◦ feedback loop
◦ hypophyseal portal system
Question 2
The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland is
not a true endocrine gland because ________.
◦ embryonically it was an endocrine tissue, but in the adult human it is no longer functional
◦ it is unable to function as an endocrine tissue because it is actually part of the neural system due to its location
◦ it is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release
◦ it is strictly a part of the neural system and has little or nothing to do with hormonal release
