The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus by a small stalk. The interaction between the nervous system and endocrine is evident in this hypothalamus-pitutary complex. The pituitary gland produces and stores hormones. The hypothalamus simulate the release of hormones by the pituitary gland by way of nerves.

The pituitary gland consist of two lobes. The posterior lobe stores and releases hormones, such as ADH and oxytocin. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland produces its own hormone. It is richly supplied with nerves from the hypothalamus.

The pituitary gland is separated into the anterior and posterior pituitary. The anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis secretes seven of the nine hormones secreted by the gland. These include growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and melanocyte stimulating hormones. The posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis secretes oxytocin and anti-diuretic hormone.
