Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small gland that divides into two distinct portions, the anterior and posterior lobes, and is located at the base of the brain.

The anterior pituitary, also known as the adenohypophysis, secretes six important peptide hormones, they are:

  • The growth hormone;
  • Adrenocorticotropin;
  • The thyroid stimulating hormone;
  • Prolactin;
  • Two gonadotropic homons - FSH and LH;

Oxytocin is not a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary but by the posterior pituitary, which is known as the neurohypophysis.

What is a coniferous tree?
JulijaS [17]

The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to

Further characteristics:

Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.

Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).

They have spread worldwide.

Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.

I've pasted some images down below that might help you a lot. (Left - leaves; Right - coniferous trees).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
