Step-by-step solution
The pituitary gland is anatomically divided into the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. The adenohypophysis consists of the pars distalis and pars intermedia. The pars distalis (anterior pituitary) secretes several hormones, including Prolactin (A-IV). The pars intermedia secretes only one hormone called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH (B-III). The neurohypophysis (pars nervosa or posterior pituitary) does not synthesize its own hormones but stores and releases oxytocin and vasopressin (C-II). The hypothala
