None of the above. The hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary are oxytocin and ADH (antidiuretic hormone). PTH is secreted in the parathyroid glands and FSH, LH and ACTH by the ANTERIOR pituitary. This is the correct answer. I guarantee you.

There is no clear or consistent definition of a 'cardiac technician'. If you have a specific type of work that you are interesting in pursuing I would call a hospital or a cardiologist's office and ask them what the qualifications are. Clinical physiology is also a generic and vague term. To be a cardiac technician you would need to understand cardiac physiology but not necessarily physiology in general. If you provide me with more information I may be able to be of further assistance. I prefer direct email. johnerussomd@jhu.edu I wish you the very best of health and happiness and in all things may God bless. JR

Well PTH or Parathyroid Hormone is made in the parathyriod; ACTH or corticotropin is secreted from corticotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary; Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary; Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone synthesised and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary.

Its ADH(Antidiuretic hormone) or Vasopressin. This increases reabsorption of water 4m kidney tubules. Deficiency leads to Diabetes Inspidus(water diabetes)
Another one released is Oxytocin. Its 4 uterus contractions.
ACTH, LH, FSH r released 4m anterior pituitary. No idea about PTH.

I didn't even know I had a posterior pituitary.

The post. pit. secretes oxytocin (pitocin) and vasopressin (ADH).
It's probably one of the above choices under a different name.
The answer is either B. or C.
