Q1.Which of the following statements related to pituitary gland are correct? Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (a) It is divided anatomically into adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis
- (b) It secretes follicle stimulating hormone
- (c) It secretes melanocyte stimulating hormone
- (d) It does not secrete prolactin.
- A(a) and (b) only
- B(a), (b) and (c) onlyAnswer
- C(c) and (d) only
- D(b) and (c) only
The pituitary is anatomically split into adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis, and the adenohypophysis secretes both FSH and MSH — so (a), (b) and (c) all hold. Statement (d) is false: prolactin is another adenohypophysial hormone, which is what excludes every option containing (d).
