How does the hypothalamus control the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary?

• A. The hypothalamus sends a hormone to the target cells that makes them receptive to GH.
• B. Feedback from the target cells is sent to the posterior pituitary, which signals the hypothalamus to stimulate the anterior pituitary.
• C. The hypothalamus stimulates an action potential in the posterior pituitary, which then sends a releasing hormone to the anterior pituitary.
• D. None of the listed responses is correct.
• E. The hypothalamus produces a releasing hormone that stimulates the pituitary to secrete GH.
