Hypothalamic neurons play a crucial role in the hormonal regulation of the body. Unlike conventional neurons, their nerve endings do not transmit signals to other neurons but secrete hormones directly into the median eminence of the hypothalamus. What is the main function of hypothalamic neurons in relation to the adenohypophysis?


A

Directly control the secretion of hormones from the adenohypophysis without the use of intermediary hormones.


B

Secrete hormones that reach the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system, regulating the function of the adenohypophysis.


C

Transmit neural signals directly to the neurons of the adenohypophysis.


D

Secrete neurotransmitters that stimulate the release of hormones from the adenohypophysis.
