The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "GnRH from hypothalamus reaches anterior pituitary through:", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Source of GnRH**: - Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is produced in the hypothalamus. 2. **Identify the Target**: - The target of GnRH is the anterior pituitary gland, which is responsible for the secretion of various hormones including luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). 3. **Determine the Pathway**: - GnRH does not travel through nerves to reach the anterior pituitary. Instead, it is released into the bloodstream. 4. **Identify the Transport Mechanism**: - The hormone travels from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary through specialized blood vessels known as the hypothalamic-pituitary portal system. This system consists of a network of blood vessels that directly connects the two regions. 5. **Evaluate the Options**: - The options provided include: - Nuclei - Exome - Blood vessels - Lymph vessels - Among these, the correct answer is **blood vessels**, as they are responsible for transporting GnRH from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. ### Final Answer: GnRH from the hypothalamus reaches the anterior pituitary through **blood vessels**. ---
