Answer:
A number of responses occur in the body to the release of neurohormones when the body encounters stress "inhibition of reproductive function"
Explanation:
Neurohormones in the mammals are oxytocin and vasopressin, both of them are produced by the hypothalamic region of the brain and then released into the blood by the help of neurohypophysis. Neurohormones are mostly the chemical messenger which are being released by the neurons, when they enter into the bloodstream from which they can travel to the target sites within body. The hypothalamus starts secreting the substances i.e. neurohormones when it receives the signal from the nervous system.
