Correct answer: B. Median pituitary
- A. Anterior pituitary
- B. Median pituitary
- C. Posterior pituitary
- D. None of these
Explanation
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone is produced mainly by the pars intermedia, or intermediate lobe, of the pituitary gland. In this question, median pituitary refers to this intermediate region. The likely alternative is anterior pituitary because many major hormones come from it, but MSH is associated with the intermediate lobe.
