The correct Answer is:
To find the correct match between hormones and their source glands, we will analyze each hormone and its corresponding gland step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the hormones and their proposed source glands. 1. **Oxytocin** - Proposed source: Anterior Pituitary Gland 2. **Gonadotropin** - Proposed source: Hypothalamus 3. **Prolactin (PRL)** - Proposed source: Mammary Gland 4. **ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)** - Proposed source: Neurohypophysis (Posterior Pituitary Gland) ### Step 2: Verify the source of each hormone. 1. **Oxytocin**: - Correct Source: Hypothalamus (released from posterior pituitary gland). - Incorrect match with anterior pituitary gland. 2. **Gonadotropin**: - Correct Source: Anterior Pituitary Gland (it is produced in the hypothalamus but released from the anterior pituitary). - This match is partially correct since it is associated with the hypothalamus but released from the anterior pituitary. 3. **Prolactin (PRL)**: - Correct Source: Anterior Pituitary Gland (not the mammary gland). - This match is incorrect as it is not produced in the mammary gland. 4. **ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)**: - Correct Source: Posterior Pituitary Gland (also known as Neurohypophysis). - This match is incorrect since it is not released from the neurohypophysis but from the posterior pituitary. ### Step 3: Determine the correct match. Based on the analysis: - The only correct match is **Gonadotropin** with the **Anterior Pituitary Gland**. - The other hormones do not match correctly with their proposed glands. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is the match between **Gonadotropin and Anterior Pituitary Gland**.
