The pituitary is a part of the endocrine system. There are two parts: they are the anterior and the posterior pituitary.
Remember that pituitary problems can lead in something called SIADH, especially after brain surgeries, nurses must evaluate vital signs critically because something as little as a urine output can tell you if a person has SIADH which is syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, which means you are producing too much ADH, which means you are retaining fluid in your body. The other condition is called DI or Diabetes Insipidus which means you are not producing enough ADH, and you are losing a ton of water.
this is evident in patients after brain surgeries and is as easy as looking at a urine output and specific gravity and evaluating them.
If a patient's urine output is 300 ml in one hour and it is very dilute, you can guess that this is a problem with DI
If a patient's urine output is 10 ml in one hour and it is very concentrated, the patient is retaining water obviously which can lead to renal failure because the heart is working really hard to get blood there so it has nutrients but this can't happen because the heart is full of blood itself and can't pump as well leading to a decrease in cardiac output and possible heart failure and renal (kidney failure) can ensue.
The output of the hormones is controlled by what is called as negative feed back mechanism. You have extra control on the this cycle by hypothalamus usually.

The combination of an endocrine gland and a hormone is a working endocrine gland that has a chemical messenger called a hormone. The hormone can be either manufactured by that gland itself, a stored hormone that another gland made, or it can be a positive or negative feedback hormone as part of the hormonal control system.
It isn't. The hypothalamus of the brain controls the hormone release in the pituitary, the master control of the endocrine system. The endocrine system releases hormones that affect cells in the nervous system. The systems are integrated and linked in numerous ways, but they are entirely different systems.
Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands, which are part of the endocrine system.
Hormone levels can be controlled by the nervous system (neural control), by other hormones (hormonal control), or by body fluids such as the blood (humoral control).
A T lymphocyte can produce a protein that the lymphocyte itself responds to. The result of this is a larger population of active t lymphocytes in this case is the protein acting as a hormone, autocrine or paracrine

EndocrineIt is the endocrine system.
The endocrine system controls cell function by hormone action.
endocrine system
Hormone receptors on cell membranes recognize a hormone's chemical structure in the endocrine system. When the hormone binds to the receptor, a cell changes its behavior.
endocrine is not a hormone itself but the system that contains hormones and glands.
