The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of these hormones is not produced by hypophysis cerebri?", we will analyze the hormones listed in the options and determine their source of production. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hypophysis Cerebri**: - The term "hypophysis cerebri" refers to the pituitary gland, which is often called the master gland of the endocrine system. It has two main lobes: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). 2. **List the Hormones in the Options**: - The hormones provided in the options are: - Growth Hormone (GH) - Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - Oxytocin - Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) 3. **Determine the Source of Each Hormone**: - **Growth Hormone (GH)**: Produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. - **Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)**: Also produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. - **Oxytocin**: This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and stored and released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. - **Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)**: Produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. 4. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Since both GH, FSH, and ACTH are produced by the pituitary gland, and oxytocin is produced by the hypothalamus, the hormone that is **not produced** by the hypophysis cerebri is **Oxytocin**. ### Conclusion: The hormone that is not produced by hypophysis cerebri is **Oxytocin**. ---
