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.
I hope i answered your question thoroughly..

What Endocrine gland is part of both the nervous and endocrine systems?
The hypothalamus is part of both the endocrine and nervous systems. This structure is found in the brain.
What part of the endocrine system is also a part of the brain?
Pituitary Gland
Which gland is part of both the endocrine and immune system?
The hypothalamus is a little (size of an almond) but very important brain structure that works both as: 1. a gland (it produces hormones, which is used to control the pituitary gland, and the pituitary gland controls all the other glands), and 2. a brain structure/organ (it is involved in many behavioral and autonomic functions).
Is the brain and the spinal cord part of the endocrine system?
Nope. Nervous system.
What part of the brain sends signals to the endocrine system?
The Piturary gland
Is thalamus one of the hormonal grand?
The Thalamus is a structure in the brain responsible for several of the necessary functions of cognition. It is not considered part of the endocrine system and as such does not produce hormones.
What part of the brain controls the release of hormones by the endocrine system?
Hypothalamus, which is the floor of Diencephalon ( a part of our Fore brain).
The part of the brain that can influence the release of hormones of the endocrine system is the?
Hypothalamus
Which system contains the hypothalamus and pineal gland?
Both the hypothalamus and the pineal gland are in the endocrine system, although the former is a part of the nervous system (in the brain) that interfaces the endocrine system.
