After pituitary stalk resection, all hormones are affected except
Correct Answer: ADH
Description: Pituitary stalk-The pituitary stalk (also known as the infundibular stalk or Fenderson&;s Funnel or simply the infundibulum) is the connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary. The floor of the third ventricle is prolonged downward as a funnel-shaped recess--the infundibular recess--into the infundibulum, where the apex of the pituitary is attached. It passes through the dura mater of the diaphragm sellae as it carries axons from the magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus down to the posterior pituitary where they release their neurohypophysial hormones, oxytocin, and vasopressin, into the blood.Ref: Ganong&;s review of medical physiology; 24th edition; page no:-324
