Somatostatin (GHIH) is primarily secreted by:

D. Hypothalamus

Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH), is produced by the hypothalamus. It plays a role in inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland and also has regulatory functions in the gastrointestinal tract and other organs.
