What does the posterior Pituitary gland secrete?
Oxytocin
The posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) stores and releases hormones made by the hypothalamus.
It releases two hormones: oxytocin, which causes uterine contraction during childbirth and milk ejection, and vasopressin (ADH), which controls water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Progesterone and estrogen come from the ovaries, while melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland.
Hence, Oxytocin.
