Answer:

they differ like

Step-by-step explanation:

The anterior pituitary receives signalling molecules from the hypothalamus, and in response, synthesizes and secretes seven hormones. The posterior pituitary does not produce any hormones of its own; instead, it stores and secretes two hormones made in the hypothalamus.
