No. They are released by by Testes. Interstitial cells of Lay-dig secrete large amount of androgen's in adult male.They make 20 % of total weight of Testes. Small amount is secreted by cortex of adrenal gland in both sexes and seems to be very important in females also.

What gland contains the anterior pituitary?

The anterior pituitary is controlled by the hypothalamus, which releases hormones that stimulate the anterior pituitary to release its own hormones. The anterior pituitary itself is not contained within a particular gland, but is connected to the hypothalamus via the pituitary stalk.


Several hormones are synthesized n the hypothalamus and transported th the anterior pituitary gland the mechanism of transportation from hypothalamus to anterior pituitary gland is through the?

The mechanism of transportation from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland is through a system of blood vessels called the hypothalamic-pituitary portal system, which connects the two structures. Hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus are released into these blood vessels and then travel to the anterior pituitary gland where they can regulate the secretion of pituitary hormones.


What organ secretes follicle stimulating hormone?

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein gonadotropin secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is released by the hypothalamus.


What pair of hormones are not synthesized in the anterior pituitary gland?

ADH or anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin are synthesized by posterior pituitary and not anterior pituitary gland.


Is Oxytocin is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary?
