Which of the following is an accumulation and release centre of neurohormones?

1. Intermediate lobe of the pituitary
2. Hypothalamus
3. Anterior pituitary lobe

Correct answer: Posterior pituitary lobe

The posterior pituitary does not synthesize its own hormones; it stores and releases neurohormones such as ADH and oxytocin made in the hypothalamus. That is why it is called an accumulation and release centre.
