Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus releases two hormones, GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) and GHIH (growth hormone-inhibiting hormone) that regulate the secretion of growth hormone by the anterior pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary gland secretes oxytocin and vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), while the pineal gland secretes melatonin.
