Detailed Solution

The neurohypophysis does not produce its own hormones, but stores and releases oxytocin and vasopressin released by the hypothalamus. The thyroid gland also stores its own hormone in an inactive form but it produces its own hormones. The adrenal medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine. The adenohypophysis produces its own hormones such as hGH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH.
