Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is synthesized in the:



Hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system

Adenohypophysis

Hypothalamus

Neurohypophysis

The correct answer is the adenohypophysis, which is also known as the anterior pituitary gland. This is where TSH is synthesized and released. The hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system is responsible for the transport of hormones between the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland, including TSH. The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating the release of TSH, but it is not where it is synthesized. The neurohypophysis, or posterior pituitary gland, is responsible for the release of other hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin, but not TSH.
