Question 1

neurons whose cell bodies are located in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus

Answer 1

Magnocellular neurons

Question 2

Magnocellular neurons synthesize

Answer 2

the neurohypophysial hormones antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin

Question 3

Secretion granules containing these neurohormones are transported from the cell bodies in the hypothalamus down axons in the pituitary stalk to storage sites in nerve terminals located in the posterior pituitary gland.
