Best answer

Answer: 1. anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of LH and FSH.

Key idea: Hypothalamic releasing hormones act on the anterior pituitary.

GnRH acts on the anterior pituitary and stimulates secretion of the gonadotropins LH and FSH. Oxytocin is made in the hypothalamus but stored and released from the posterior pituitary, and relaxin comes from the ovary. Answer: (1).
