Question

Which of the following hormones are transported through hypophyseal portal vein?

Moderate

A

Somatocrinin and GnRH
B

Oxytocin and vasopressin
C

Somatostatin and somatotropin
D

TSH and ACTH

Solution

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