Question

true or false The neurohypophysis is derived from Rathke's pouch. Inhibition of follicle stimulating hormone secretion would inhibit testosterone synthesis. Oversecretion of prolactin would induce breast enlargement. Oxytocin synthesis occurs in the neurohypophysis. Adenohypophyseal function is regulated by the hypothalamus. Hypertrophy of the zona glomerulosa would result in Cushing's syndrome. Elevated basal metabolic rate occurs due to excessive thyroxin secretion. A deficiency of dietary iodine would result in excessive TSH secretion. Calcitonin and PTH are antagonistic hormones. Diabetes mellitus occurs due to lack of pancreatic alpha-cell function. Progesterone is secreted primarily from the corpus luteum.

Explanation / Answer

19. Neurohypophysis is derived from rathke's pouch is false, adenohypophysis is derived from Rathke's pouch.

20. Inhibition of FSH inhibits testosterone synthesis is true because, it inhibits release of gonadotropins from pituitary glands.

21. over secretion of prolactin enlarges breasts is true.

22. oxytocin synthesis occurs in neurohypophysis is true.

23. Adenohypophyseal function is regulated by the hypothalamus is true.
