GnRH, a hypothalamic hormone, needed in reproduction, acts on

  1. anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of LH and FSH
  2. posterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of oxytocin and FSH
  3. posterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of LH and relaxin
  4. anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of LH and oxytocin.

Answer

(1) anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of LH and FSH

Solution

As per NCERT, gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary (anterior pituitary, adenohypophysis) to synthesise and release gonadotrophins, i.e., LH and FSH.

Oxytocin is released from the posterior pituitary (not under GnRH control) and relaxin is secreted by the ovary/placenta.

Hypersecretion of growth hormone in adults does not cause further increase in height, because

  1. epiphyseal plates close after adolescence
  2. bones lose their sensitivity to growth hormone in adults
  3. muscle fibres do not grow in size after birth
  4. growth hormone becomes inactive in adults.

  2. it only stores and releases hormones
  3. it is under the regulation of hypothalamus
  4. it secretes enzymes.
