B

a = ADH `rArr` c = axonal transport
b= TSHRF `rArr` d = portal circulation

The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify the hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus, how they are transported to the pituitary gland, and the specific pathways involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hormones**: - The two hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus are **Oxytocin** and **Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)**, also known as **Vasopressin**. 2. **Transport Mechanism**: - Oxytocin and ADH are transported to the **posterior pituitary gland** through **neural connections**. This is because the posterior pituitary is an extension of the hypothalamus and utilizes axonal transport. 3. **Anterior Pituitary Hormone**: - The hypothalamus also produces releasing factors that act on the anterior pituitary. One such releasing factor is **Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Releasing Factor (TSHRF)**. 4. **Transport to Anterior Pituitary**: - TSHRF is transported to the **anterior pituitary gland** through **portal circulation**. This is a network of blood vessels that connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. 5. **Final Answer**: - (a) Oxytocin, (b) ADH, (c) neural connections, (d) portal circulation. ### Complete Answer: Two hormones (a) **Oxytocin** and (b) **Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)** are synthesized in the hypothalamus and transported to the pituitary gland through (c) **neural connections** and (d) **portal circulation** respectively.
