Blood vessel connections between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland allow hypothalamic hormones to control pituitary hormone production.
Some of the physiological processes regulated by the hypothalamus include blood pressure, body temperature, cardiovascular system functions, fluid balance, and electrolyte balance.
The hypothalamus also regulates emotional responses through its influence on the pituitary gland, skeletal muscular system, and autonomic nervous system.
