MSH is secreted by :
A
Anterior lobe of pituitary
B
Middle lobe of pituitary
C
Posterior lobe of pituitary
D
Endostyle
Detailed Solution
The pituitary has an anterior lobe (pars distalis), an intermediate lobe (pars intermedia) and a posterior lobe (pars nervosa).
The intermediate (middle) lobe secretes melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), which acts on melanocytes and regulates skin pigmentation.
So MSH is secreted by the middle lobe of the pituitary.
The intermediate (middle) lobe secretes melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), which acts on melanocytes and regulates skin pigmentation.
So MSH is secreted by the middle lobe of the pituitary.
