The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Glands**: The question pertains to the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland is divided into two lobes: the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe. 2. **Identifying the Hormones**: The hormones secreted by the anterior lobe include: - Growth Hormone (GH) - Prolactin (PRL) - Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - Luteinizing Hormone (LH) - Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) The posterior lobe secretes: - Oxytocin - Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH, also known as Vasopressin) 3. **Chemical Nature of the Hormones**: The hormones released by both the pituitary and hypothalamus are primarily proteins or polypeptides. This means they are made up of chains of amino acids. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the chemical nature of all the hormones secreted from the pituitary and hypothalamus is that they are proteins or polypeptides. ### Final Answer: The hormones secreted from the pituitary and hypothalamus are chemically proteins or polypeptides. ---
