Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus that targets the anterior pituitary gland. In response to TRH, the anterior pituitary gland releases thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Therefore, the correct choice is E, anterior pituitary.
