Hi everyone here's our next question. The hypothalamus produces all of the following hormones except so one of these is not produced by the hypothalamus and as we recall we have in the brain we have the hypothalamus which then in many cases releases the hormones that are then in the pituitary uh stimulate hormones to be released by the pituitary which go on to affect organs or endocrine systems in the body. So let's look at our choices and see which one is not produced by the hypothalamus. Choice A is growth hormone releasing hormone or G. H. R. H. That is produced by the hypothalamus. It stimulates the production of growth hormone by the pituitary. So that is not our correct answer. Choice B. Says fire atropine releasing hormone. Well this is released by the hypothalamus also. Um It stimulates the pituitary to produce thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH so this is also not a correct answer. Now we move on to choice. C thyroid stimulating hormone otherwise known as TSH however that is not produced by the hypothalamus. As we said when we looked at Choice B thyroid trope in releasing hormone is produced in the hypothalamus. The TSH thyroid stimulating hormone is then produced in response in the pituitary. So choice C. Is correct for not being released by the hypothalamus. And let's look at our final choice choice D gonadotropin releasing hormone um Also known as G. N. R. H. That is another one produced by the hypothalamus stimulates the production of LH and FSH by the pituitary. So that is not a correct answer as it is produced in the hypothalamus. So our correct answer here is choice C thyroid stimulating hormone. See you in the next video.
