The correct Answer is:
To determine how many hormones are secreted from the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary), we need to analyze the hormones listed in the question: Aldosterone, MSH, Melatonin, Prolactin, ADH, and TSH. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Neurohypophysis**: The neurohypophysis, also known as the posterior pituitary, is a part of the pituitary gland that primarily stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus. 2. **Identify the Hormones**: The hormones listed are: - Aldosterone - MSH (Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone) - Melatonin - Prolactin - ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) - TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) 3. **Classify Each Hormone**: - **Aldosterone**: Secreted by the adrenal glands, not the pituitary. - **MSH**: Secreted by the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary). - **Melatonin**: Secreted by the pineal gland, not the pituitary. - **Prolactin**: Secreted by the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary). - **ADH**: Secreted by the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary). - **TSH**: Secreted by the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary). 4. **Count the Hormones from Neurohypophysis**: From the analysis, the only hormone that is secreted by the neurohypophysis is ADH. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the total number of hormones secreted from the neurohypophysis is **1**. ### Final Answer: The answer is **1**.
