Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Antidiuretic hormone
Concept:

The posterior pituitary is essentially an extension of hypothalamic nervous tissue that stores two specific hormones.

Solution:

  • The only two hormones released by the posterior pituitary are oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH/Vasopressin).


Why other options are incorrect:

Growth hormone and prolactin are synthesized in the anterior pituitary. Estrogen is produced by the ovaries.

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.
