    Hypothalamus

    Explanation:

    The cell bodies of the neurosecretory cells of the paraventricular and the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus synthesize the hormones oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin. These hormones are stored and released in blood by the posterior pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary does not synthesize hormones.

    The hormones from the hypothalamus are packed into vesicles and are transported to the axon terminals of the posterior pituitary via the hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract. The hormones are stored in axon terminals and released in the blood when required.
