Question:
Which of the following hormones released from the pituitary is actually synthesized in the hypothalamus?
Which of the following hormones released from the pituitary is actually synthesized in the hypothalamus?
Show Hint
ADH = Made in hypothalamus, stored in posterior pituitary.
Updated On: Oct 10, 2025
- Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. FSH, LH, and ACTH are synthesized and released by the anterior pituitary.

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
