Which of the following answer selections is correct in labeling the two hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland? 
A)B = GnRH; C = LH 
B)B = FSH; C = testosterone 
C)B = FSH; C = LH 
D)B = testosterone; C= DHT 
E)B = LH; C = inhibin

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Option C correctly identifies B as FSH and C as LH. Option A is incorrect because GnRH is not a hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland, but rather a hormone released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary gland. Option B is incorrect because testosterone is not a hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland, but rather a hormone produced by the testes in males. Option D is incorrect because both testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are not hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland, but rather hormones produced elsewhere in the body. Option E is also incorrect because inhibin is not a hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland, but rather a hormone produced by the gonads that inhibits FSH secretion.
