Oxytocin and vasopressin are neurohypophysis hormones synthesized in the neurons of paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus and travel to the terminals in the neurohypophysis for storage and release into the vascular system. Oxytocin stimulates milk ejection and uterine smooth muscle contraction at parturition; while vasopressin affects water retention and blood pressure.

∙ 14y agoThe neurohypophysis, also called the posterior pituitary, releases antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. These hormones are released on demand in response to nerve impulses. ADH influences body water balance, and oxytocin stimulates contraction of smooth muscle of the uterus and breast.

∙ 10y ago- The pituitary gland produces several hormones:
- Prolactin: stimulates breast milk production and controls menstrual periods
- ACTH: signals the adrenal glands (situated atop the kidneys) to produce the steroid cortisol
- Growth hormone (GH): signals special liver cells to produce somatomedin-C, which is critical for body growth during childhood
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH): signals the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone which is essential for the regulation of body metabolism
- FSH and LH: regulate hormone production by the testes (testosterone) and ovaries (estrogen, progesterone)
- ADH: stimulates the kidney concentrate the urine by taking up water back into the bloodstream

What gland stimulates growth and stimulates secretion of hormones from other glands?
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the embryo
What is the secretes hormone?
Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands, which are part of the endocrine system.
Portal capillaries carry releasing hormones from the brain to the?
Portal capillaries are most likely in the hypothalamus and pituitary. The releasing hormones are the ones that give the pituitary instructions to make other hormones that affect different glands in the body.
What does 'secreted hormones' mean?
Organs and glands secrete hormones, which means they release them into the bloodstream.
What gland secretes hGH TSH and FSH among other hormones?
These glands are called anterior pituitary gland.
Hormones that control the functions of other endocrine glands are secreted by the?
pituitary gland
Does the pituitary gland regulate glands growth?
Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control(regulate) growth.
What are hormones and what are they used for?
Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They affect many different processes, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. They are secreted directly into your bloodstream by endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes.
What are the Ductless glands that secrete hormones known as?
Glands that secrete hormones do that into the blood, not into ducts. Hormones are not secreted into ducts. glands that secrete into ducts are called exocrine glands. Glands that secrete hormones are endocrine glands.
How is the pituitary gland important for growth?
it regulates your hormones and controls other glands in the body
What gland secretes hormones without the use of a duct?
ALL hormones by definition are secreted directly into the blood stream (and hence without the use of a duct). Glands that produce them are called endocrine glands. Major endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and pineal glands. Glands such as the pancreas have a "dual" function in that they secrete via a duct (exocrine function) as well as secreting hormones (endocrine function).
What organ releases the endocrine?
That is anterior pituitary. It affects on ovaries
Hormones are secreted and released into the blood by?
glands
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.
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...
Is Adrenaline is secreted by the pituitary glands?
No, adreanaline is made in the adrenal gland.
What gland stimulates growth and stimulates secretion of hormones from other glands?
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the embryo
