Answer:

(D). oxytocin.

Explanation:

The hypothalamic-pituitary axis can be defined a pathway that plays a central role in regulation of various endocrine glands. Hormones released from hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland, which in turns secrete pituitary hormones to regulate release of hormones from other endocrine glands.  

Regulation of growth hormone (somatotropin), cortisol (adrenal hormone), prolactin, and T3 (thyroid hormone) is done by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, which is synthesized by hypothalamus and secreted by posterior pituitary gland. However, level of oxytocin is regulated by positive feedback in loop, in which hormone itself regulates its release and does not involves regulation by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

2. Explain how the processes of death and dying can have different outcomes or scenarios depending on choosing different paths.
jekas [21]
Death is the end of life. Dying is the process of approaching death, including the choices and actions involved in that process. The process of death is when someone is dying, their heartbeat and blood circulation slow down. The brain and organs receive less oxygen than they need and so work less well. In the days before death, people often begin to lose control of their breathing. It's common for people to be very calm in the hours before they die.
