According to Wikipedia, one of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, thyroxine which is commonly known as T4, and calcitonin.
The pituitary gland!!
It is made by the anterior pituitary gland and it doesn't have any function there. It acts on tissue away from the gland. Growth Hormone affects bones & muscles to produce growth.
The pituitary.
No. It is actually one of the smallest glands, though it does a big job. The main function of the pituitary gland is to make and release hormones and is controlled by the hypothalamus. The largest gland in the body is the pancreas.
Posterior pituitary, produced in the hypothalamus
The pituitary gland!!
EndrinalNO, Adrenal
No, because the hypothalamus manufactures the hormones for the posterior pituitary gland and it sends the instructions for the anterior pituitary gland to produce hormones.
You can answer the pituitary gland and be correct, but note that the pituitary is under control of the hypothalamus.
The pituitary gland is known as the *master gland* and controls the function of all other glands. If the pituitary is dysfunctional, it may adversely affect thyroid function as well.

The function of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland is to store and secrete hormones that are produced by the brain. These hormones are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
It is made by the anterior pituitary gland and it doesn't have any function there. It acts on tissue away from the gland. Growth Hormone affects bones & muscles to produce growth.
Puberty is started by a sudden increase in hormones, released by the Pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland releases hormones (gonadotropins) that control both the reproductive and endocrine function of the ovaries.
The pituitary gland helps the thyroid function properly. When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, thyroxine which is commonly known as T4, and calcitonin. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain.
