Detailed Solution

Releasing and inhibiting hormones are transported from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary though the hypophyseal portal system. Somatostatin is the growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH). 

GnRH is the gonadotropin releasing hormone. 

Somatotropin (growth hormone), TSH and ACTH are secreted by the anterior pituitary and are not transported through the hypophyseal portal vein. 

Oxytocin and vasopressin are transported from the hypothalamus to the neurohypophysis through the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract.
