The releasing hormones are produced by
A) Testis
B) Pancreas
C) Pituitary
D) Hypothalamus

Explanation

Solution

  1. A hormone is any member of a family of signaling molecules that are transmitted to distant organs in multicellular organisms to regulate physiology and/or behavior.
  2. Animals, trees, and fungi all use hormones to grow properly.
  3. They make their way through the circulation through tissues or organs. They function steadily, over time, and affect a variety of systems.

Complete answer
A) The testes are in charge of processing sperm and testosterone, the dominant male sex hormone. Seminiferous tubules are coiled masses of tubes found inside the testes. These tubules are in charge of developing sperm cells through a mechanism known as spermatogenesis. As a result, option A is wrong.
B) The pancreas regulates the body's blood glucose (sugar) levels. Insulin and glucagon are pancreatic primary hormones that control blood glucose levels. Since diabetes is the most prevalent pancreatic condition, option B is incorrect.
C) Option C is wrong since the pituitary gland is the master gland that controls the function of other endocrine glands and secretes certain hormones such as growth hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and so on. This is also incorrect
D) The hypothalamus is found in the forebrain. This gland secretes hormones that control pituitary gland hormone synthesis and secretion. The hypothalamus produces two kinds of hormones: releasing hormones that activate pituitary hormone secretion and inhibiting hormones that suppress pituitary hormone secretion.

As a result, the right answer is 'Hypothalamus.'

Solution
Hypothalamus releases hormones. Corticotropin-releasing hormone, dopamine, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone are all hormones released by the hypothalamus. Hence the correct option is D.

Note

  1. The part of the brain responsible for maintaining the body's internal equilibrium (homeostasis).
  2. The hypothalamus connects the endocrine and nervous systems.
  3. The hypothalamus develops hormones that stimulate and suppress the release of other hormones in the body.
