Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Concept:

The neurohypophysis acts as a storage reservoir rather than a true secretory factory.

Solution:

  • While technically synthesized by hypothalamic nuclei, Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) travels down axonal tracts and is released into the systemic circulation exclusively by the posterior lobe of the pituitary.


Why other options are incorrect:

TSH, ACTH, and FSH are exclusively synthesized and secreted by the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis).

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.
