Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. Today, we need to identify the hormone that is incorrectly matched with the region that secretes it. Now, let's go over each of these answer choices and just identify the one that is incorrectly matched. Let's begin by answer choice. Eight. You have vasopressin and then neuro hypothesis. Well, this is going to be correct. Remember that vasopressin and Oxytocin are going to be producing the hypothalamus. However, they're going to be stored and secreted from the neuro hypothesis. Therefore, we're going to cancel this all because we're looking for the answer choice as incorrectly matched. Then we have both C and D, we have T A H A hypothesis hypothesis and then we have AC T H A O hypothesis. Well, these two are both going to be secreted by the Denno hypothesis by the anterior P GL and anti glance is also going to be secreting F S H L H AC T H like we sign the answer choice T S H as we sign the answer choice pr L N G H. Now, therefore, we're going to cancel C and D out because they're both secreted by the adeno hypothesis or the anterior PT gland. Now let's move on to answer choice. B you have prolactin neuro hypothesis. Well, remember that the neuroth isis is only going to be secreting vasopressin and Oxytocin. But also take a look at these hormone that we wrote down here that is accreted by the anterior pito the or the A hypothesis. This PR L is going to be prolactin. So it is not secreted by the neuro hypothesis rather by the Aino hypothesis. And therefore, it is going to be the answer choice that's incorrectly matched. So we're going to highlight answer choice B for electing neuro hypothesis as a final answer to this question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
