The correct answer is: posterior pituitary
The secretion of the posterior lobe is known as pituitrin and it contains two hormones - oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin. The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland does not secrete any hormone, rather it stores and releases the hormones secreted by the hypothalamus.
