Which part of the brain is responsible for producing and releasing antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
This choice is incorrect. The hypothalamus produces ADH and releases it into the posterior pituitary for storage and release.
The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the neurohypophysis, is responsible for producing and releasing antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in response to signals from the hypothalamus.
This choice is incorrect. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is responsible for producing and releasing other hormones, such as growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone.
This choice is incorrect. The pineal gland is responsible for producing melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, and is not involved in ADH production.
