A region on retina of human eye which is free from rods and cones is :
The optic nerves leave the eye and the retinal blood vessels enter it at a point medial to and slightly above the posterior pole of the eye ball. Photoreceptor cells are not present in that region and hence it is called the blind spot.
Read the following about neurohypophysis :
i. Neurohypophysis secretes neurohormones.
ii. Oxytocin and ADH are synthesized in neurohypophysis
Neurohypophysis is not a true endocrine gland which is also called as a posterior lobe or pituitary gland because it is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release. Oxytocin and vasopressin produced in the hypothalamus are released by posterior pituitary.
So, the correct option is 'It secretes neurohormones.'
