What is the structure that is part of the central nervous system but also produces hormones for the endocrine system?
The pituitary gland
What are the two lobes of the pituitary gland?
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.
What controls the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary?
hypothalamus of the brain secretes neural hormone which controls the pituitary gland, secretions of pituitary gland are popularly called as trophic hormones which control all other endocrine glands of human body
What is the storehouse for the hormones produced by the hypothalamus of the brain?
The Posterior Lobe of Pituitary and the HypothalamusThe posterior lobe, so far as is known, does not make any of its own hormones, but serves as a storehouse for two hormones manufactured by the hypothalamus . The hypothalamus, apart from having a role in controlling the body's autonomic nervous system, also functions as an endocrine gland, secreting its own hormones, and as a connecting link between the brain's cerebral cortex and the pituitary gland. The posterior lobe of the pituitary releases the two hormones it receives from the hypothalamus, called vasopressin and oxytocin , into the bloodstream. Vasopressin plays a role in the fluid balance of the body; oxytocin is thought to pace the onset and progress of labor during childbirth.
Why is the hypothalamus considered the control center of the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is considered the control center of the endocrine system because it acts as the endocrine system's thermostat - it signals glands to turn on or off hormones as the body needs them.
Which gland in the body are also part of the central nervous system?
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are both located in the CNS.The hypothalamus is part of both the central nervous system and the endocrine system because it sends out nervous impulses and manufactures hormones. The hypothalamus' hormones tell the pituitary gland to either secrete or stop secreting its hormones.

What glands are also part of the central nervous system?
The hypothalamus is part of both the central nervous system and the endocrine system because it sends out nervous impulses and manufactures hormones. The hypothalamus' hormones tell the pituitary gland to either secrete or stop secreting its hormones.
What are the different ailments of the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is the hub for the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls the functioning of the pituitary gland.The pituitary secretions exercise control over other endocrine glands. Some of the important hormones secreted by the pituitary are the growth hormone, prolactin, corticotropin, endorphin and thyrotropin.The thyroid hormones are vial to the development of brain and nervous system in children.
The function of the thyroid hormones is to?
promote the development of the nervous system in infants and promote normal udult nervous system functioning
What does the pituitary gland of the brain do?
The Pituitary gland sends electrical impulses through your body's nervous system that stimutates the production of hormones, specifically growth hormones and reproductive hormones such as estrogen and Testosterone.
Basic functioning unit of the central nervous system?
The neuron
How do releasing hormones of the hypothalamus connect the nervous and endocrine system?
Hypothalamus controls the posterior pituitary gland which is connected with axons. Thus the hypothalamus synthesizes oxytocin and anti-diuretic hormones which are then packaged in secretory vesicles and moved to axons. When axon terminals are triggered, the hormones are released in the capillaries of posterior pituitary.
What slows down the functioning of the Central Nervous System?
Depressant drugs and some illnesses.

Why is the anterior pituitary called the master gland?
An endocrine gland is any organ that secretes chemicals (called hormones) into the blood. The hypothalamus releases several hormones, including corticotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, and a bunch of others. Because many of these hormones regulate the activity of the pituitary gland, which is often called the master regulator of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus is often considered the ultimate regulator of the endocrine system.
What are endorphin agonists?
Endorphin agonists is a specific class of endorphins. These are produced by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland.
