Answer» Correct Answer - B The pars distalis is called anterior pituitary and pars nervasa called posterior pituitary (c ).

Anterior pituitary release 6 hormones as growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and pars intermedia releases only one hormone (MSH) |
