Which gland in the human body regulates the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland?
-
- Thymus gland
- Thyroid gland
- Adrenal gland
- Hypothalamus gland
Correct Option: D
Hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated by releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus. Neuro-endocrine cells in the hypothalamus project axons to the median eminence, at the base of the brain. At this site, these cells can release substances into small blood vessels that travel directly to the anterior pituitary gland
