What causes a pituitary gland not to release enough hormones?
You have the various releasing factors, that come from the hypothalamus. The low level of the hormones from the target organ like thyroid may stimulate thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary.
What is the connection of pituitary gland in behavior?
The pituitary gland secretes hormones. However, the hormones that are most likely to change behaviour are testosterone in men, oestrogen in women, or adrenaline. These are secreted by the testes, ovaries and adrenal glands respectively. The pituitary gland secretes hormones like FSH or hormones that influence growth, metabolism and maturation. So the answer is, there's not a huge connection...
Were is the pituitary?
The pituitary gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. It sits a bony structure on the cranial floor called the Sella Turcica, which translates to Turkish saddle, named for the shape of the structure. When looking at the blood vessels of the brain the pituitary is very easy to locate. It sits in the middle of the circle of Willis, a ring a blood vessels at the heart of the 'lobster-like' network.
What is the site of the sella turcica?
In the sphenoid bone in the middle of the skull. It is shaped like a Turkish saddle, hence the name and it houses the pituitary gland, the most protected gland in the body!

Which gland is located in the sella turcia?

What is the function of Pituitary gland?
The pituitary gland is a gland at the base of the brain that sends signals to other glands and organs. Like the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes. It directs them to produce certain hormones. A pea sized structure attached to the hypothalamus of the brain, the pituitary glands produces hormones that affect a wide range of activities, form growth to reproduction.
Why is the pituitary gland considered the most important of the endocrine system?
Your pituitary gland is an important pea-sized organ. If your pituitary gland doesn't function properly, it affects vital parts like your brain, skin, energy, mood, reproductive organs, vision, growth and more. It's the “master” gland because it tells other glands to release hormones.
What connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland?
the infundibulum connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, its like a stem. for the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) is linked by neurons while the anterior lobe is linked by a complex network of blood capillaries it's the spinal column

How is the anterior pituitary connected to the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland in two ways. One is via the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones. The other is a direct anatomical connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary gland. In fact, the posterior pituitary gland is actually just an extension of the hypothalamus. When we talk about hormones released by the posterior pituitary, we're actually talking about hormones made and released by the hypothalamus. It just so happens that with the naked eye, it looks like the anterior and posterior pituitary are all part of one big pituitary gland. But microscopically, functionally and anatomically, the pituitary gland is just an outgrowth of the hypothalamus.
Can an infection in the sphenoid sinuses effect pituitary gland function?
