Question

The hormone that is synthesized by the hypothalamus and carried to the anterior pituitary gland is called ? A. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) B. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) C. Luteinizing hormone (LH) D. Interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) The hormone that is synthesized by the hypothalamus and carried to the anterior pituitary gland is called ? A. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) B. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) C. Luteinizing hormone (LH) D. Interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) A. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) B. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) C. Luteinizing hormone (LH) D. Interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH)

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is A. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) .

Additional Information:

Gonadotropin - releasing hormone (GnRH) is synthesized from the hypothalamus ( preoptic nucleus) . The gene which is responsible for this action is located on chromosome 8. After its formation it is carried to the anterior pituitary and is responsible for the secretion of Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) & Leutinizing hormone from there ( anterior pituitary) .
