Which of the following is an example of how the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland work together?

a. neurons in the hypothalamus stimulate the release of hormones from the pituitary gland that regulates hunger.
b. neurons in the pituitary gland stimulate release of hormones , which control the fight or flight reaction.
c. neurons in the pituitary gland stimulate release of hormones from the hypothalamus, which regulates hunger.
d. neurons in the hypothalamus stimulate the release of hormones, which regulate egg production.

D. Neurons in the hypothalamus stimulate the release of hormones, which regulate egg production

Explanation:

The hypothalamus sends information to the pituitary, which controls the production of T3 and T4 by the thyroid. Thus, the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and thyroid work together to regulate the amount of thyroid hormones present in the body. These hormones act almost everywhere in the human body, even exerting important effects on the function of the ovaries as they stimulate ovulation. Some experimental studies have shown that the hormone T4 favors the development of the fertilized egg.

In this case, we can say that the eurons in the hypothalamus stimulate the release of hormones, which regulate egg production.
