Question

This gland has two lobes and regulates the growth hormone. Could you recognise it?

• A. Pineal
• B. Pituitary
• C. Thyroid
• D. Adrenal

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Pituitary

The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland has two parts—the anterior lobe and posterior lobe—that have two very separate functions. The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.The anterior pituitary gland produces cortisol, a growth hormone, which regulates growth, metabolism and body composition.
