Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the second one (or B): hypothalamus; posterior pituitary.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Posterior pituitary; hypothalamus - This is incorrect because ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus, not the posterior pituitary.
  2. Hypothalamus; posterior pituitary - This is correct. ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus and then transported to the posterior pituitary, where they are stored and released into the bloodstream.
  3. Hypothalamus; anterior pituitary - This is incorrect because ADH and oxytocin are not stored or released from the anterior pituitary.
  4. Anterior pituitary; posterior pituitary - This is incorrect because ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus, not the anterior pituitary.

Summary: ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus and nerve impulses cause their release from the posterior pituitary into the bloodstream.
