The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Pituitary Gland**: The pituitary gland is known as the master endocrine gland and is located in the forebrain. It is divided into two main parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Degeneration in neurons of the posterior part causes diabetes insipidus." - This statement is correct. Damage to the neurons in the posterior pituitary can lead to a deficiency in the secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), resulting in diabetes insipidus. - **Statement 2**: "Oxytocin is released from the anterior pituitary." - This statement is incorrect. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary, not the anterior pituitary. - **Statement 3**: "Anterior pituitary is related to body growth." - This statement is correct. The anterior pituitary produces growth hormone, which is essential for body growth. - **Statement 4**: "Hypothalamus regulates directly posterior pituitary." - This statement is also correct. The hypothalamus synthesizes hormones like ADH and oxytocin, which are stored and released from the posterior pituitary. 3. **Identifying the Wrong Statement**: After analyzing all the statements, it is clear that the second statement is the wrong one, as it incorrectly attributes the release of oxytocin to the anterior pituitary instead of the posterior pituitary. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement related to the pituitary gland is **Statement 2: "Oxytocin is released from anterior pituitary."** ---
