Q: Where is the hypothalamuspituitary complex located in the body? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: 17.3 The Pituitary Gland and Hypothalamus The hypothalamuspituitary complex is located in the diencephalon of the brain. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are connected by a structure called the infundibulum, which contains vasculature and nerve axons. The pituitary gland is divided into two distinct structures with different embryonic origins. The posterior lobe houses the axon terminals of hypothalamic neurons. It stores and releases into the bloodstream two hypothalamic hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The anterior lobe is connected to the hypothalamus by vasculature in the infundibulum and produces and secretes six hormones. Their secretion is regulated, however, by releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus. The six anterior pituitary hormones are: growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin (PRL). Choices: - tribulus of the brain - subthalamic of the brain - stem of the brain - diencephalon of the brain A:
**Answer**
diencephalon of the brain

Q: Glaciers modify the landscape by what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Glaciers modify the landscape by erosion. They also modify the landscape by deposition. Glaciers carry an enormous amount of material and dump it. The features they leave behind show where they were and what happened as they were melting away. Choices: - silt - sediment - truncation - erosion A:
**Answer**
erosion

Q: All the blood in the human body is filtered about 60 times a day by what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: blood containing the metabolic wastes from cells. All the blood in the human body is filtered about 60 times a day by the kidneys. The nephrons remove wastes, concentrate them, and form urine that is collected in the bladder. Internally, the kidney has three regionsan outer cortex, a medulla in the middle, and the renal pelvis, which is the expanded end of the ureter. The renal cortex contains the nephronsthe functional unit of the kidney. The renal pelvis collects the urine and leads to the ureter on the outside of the kidney. The ureters are urine-bearing tubes that exit the kidney and empty into the urinary bladder. Choices: - lungs - heart - liver - kidneys A:
**Answer**
kidneys

Q: What causes the red color of laterite soils? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: A third important type of soil is laterite . Laterite forms in tropical areas. Temperatures are warm and rain falls every day ( Figure below ). So much rain falls that chemical weathering is intense. All soluble minerals are washed from the soil. Plant nutrients get carried away. There is practically no humus. Laterite soils are often red in color from the iron oxides. If laterites are exposed to the Sun, they bake as hard as a brick. Choices: - oxygen - toxins - erosion - iron oxides A:
**Answer**
iron oxides
