Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Oxytocin
Concept:

The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland (neurohypophysis) does not synthesize its own hormones but stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus.

Solution:

  • The two hormones released by the posterior pituitary are Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin.


Why other options are incorrect:

TSH, ACTH, and FSH are all tropic hormones synthesized and secreted directly by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
