Which one of the following hormones though synthesised elsewhere, is stored and released by the master gland?

A Prolactin
B Melanocyte stimulating hormone
C Antidiuretic hormone
D Luteinising hormone

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Antidiuretic hormone

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) : Two hormones viz oxytocin \((OT)\) and antidiuretic hormone \((ADH)\) are synthesised in the hypothalamus, but stored and released by the posterior lobe of pituitary gland.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
