The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormones are secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, we can analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Function of the Anterior Pituitary Gland**: The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is responsible for producing and secreting several important hormones that regulate various physiological processes in the body. 2. **List the Hormones Secreted by the Anterior Pituitary**: The anterior pituitary secretes the following hormones: - Growth Hormone (GH) - Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - Luteinizing Hormone (LH) - Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - Prolactin 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option I: FSH, GH, and LH**: This option includes FSH, GH, and LH, all of which are secreted by the anterior pituitary. **(Correct)** - **Option II: GH, TSH, and Prolactin**: This option includes GH, TSH, and Prolactin, all of which are also secreted by the anterior pituitary. **(Correct)** - **Option III: TSH, ADH, and Prolactin**: This option includes TSH and Prolactin, which are secreted by the anterior pituitary, but ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) is secreted by the posterior pituitary. **(Incorrect)** - **Option IV: ACTH, TSH, and Oxytocin**: This option includes ACTH and TSH, which are secreted by the anterior pituitary, but Oxytocin is also secreted by the posterior pituitary. **(Incorrect)** 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct options are: - I. FSH, GH, and LH - II. GH, TSH, and Prolactin ### Final Answer: The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes hormones in options I and II. ---
