In the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus is in charge of triggering the release of hormones. Some of the hormones released include thyrotropin and follicle stimulating hormone.

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 is secreted by the neurosecretory cells in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary has neurosecretory tissue. It is activated by impulses from the hypothalamus and release hormones such as oxytocin and ADH.
What organ contains target cells for oxytocin?
Oxytocin is released by posterior pitutory.It is produced by hypothalamus.
Which hormones are secreted by your posterior pituitary gland?
Antidiauretic hormone and Oxytocin are the two hormones released by posterior Pituitary gland. A.D.H. conserve the body water by reducing amount of urine. Oxytocin increases the milk secretion and to induce delivery you put a drip of Oxytocin. It promotes uterine contractions and relaxes the cervix to hasten delivery.
Is aldosterone released from pituitary gland?
Yes,it is released from posterior pitutory.It is produced in hypothalamus.

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.

What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.

Oxytocin increases the milk secretion and to induce delivery you put a drip of Oxytocin. It promotes uterine contractions and relaxes the cervix to hasten delivery.
Where is Anti-diuretic hormone produced?
ADH is released by the brain's pituitary gland.ADH is not produced in the pituitary gland.it is made in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary its hypothalmus
WHat trophic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland?
No not all hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are growth hormones. Growth Hormone is released by the anterior pituitary and it in not a tropic hormone.
Is aldosterone released from pituitary gland?
Yes,it is released from posterior pitutory.It is produced in hypothalamus.
Where is anti- diuretic produced?
ADH is released by the brain's pituitary gland.ADH is not produced in the pituitary gland.it is made in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary its hypothalmus
Which hormone is secreted by the pituitary glands and increase the permeability of the collecting tube to water?
AntiDiuretic Hormone (ADH) released from the posterior part of the pituitary
What hormone is not released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
Estrogen is a hormone that is not released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. There are several hormones that are released by this lobe including lutropin.
