Location of the para thyroid gland?
Two pairs of parathyroid glands are placed on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. They are of very small size as compared to the thyroid gland.
Where can a Pituitary gland tumor be located?
The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5 g (0.02 oz.). It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, and rests in a small, bony cavity (sella turcica) covered by a dural fold (diaphragma sellae). The pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the brain.
Where is pituitary gland located?
It is at the bottom of the hypothalmus at the base of the brain. See the related link for more information.
The floor of the diencephalon is formed by the?
hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a small but important region of the diencephalon located beneath the thalamus. It plays a critical role in regulating many essential bodily functions such as body temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone production.
Where is the posterior pituitary gland located?
The posterior pituitary is located in a portion of the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica. It is attached to the anterior pituitary gland by the pars intermedia which is a thin layer of endocrine tissue. The posterior pituitary is actually just an extension of the neural tissue that composes the hypothalamus.

What are the two lobes of the pituitary gland?
The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus by a small stalk. The interaction between the nervous system and endocrine is evident in this hypothalamus-pitutary complex. The pituitary gland produces and stores hormones. The hypothalamus simulate the release of hormones by the pituitary gland by way of nerves.The pituitary gland consist of two lobes. The posterior lobe stores and releases hormones, such as ADH and oxytocin. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland produces its own hormone. It is richly supplied with nerves from the hypothalamus.
What is the gland that regulates body temperature and blood pressure?
The hypothalmus gland. The pituitary gland controls body temperature. The hypothalamus is part of the brain (not a gland), and the pituitary gland is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain.
Location of the para thyroid gland?
Two pairs of parathyroid glands are placed on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. They are of very small size as compared to the thyroid gland.
Why is the anterior pituitary called the master gland?
An endocrine gland is any organ that secretes chemicals (called hormones) into the blood. The hypothalamus releases several hormones, including corticotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, and a bunch of others. Because many of these hormones regulate the activity of the pituitary gland, which is often called the master regulator of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus is often considered the ultimate regulator of the endocrine system.
What mixed gland is located close to the stomach amd small intestine?
The pancreas is the mixed gland located close to the stomach and small intestine.
Where in the brain is the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is a small part of the brain located just below the thalamus on both sides of the third ventricle. (The ventricles are areas within the cerebrum that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and connect to the fluid in the spine.) It sits just inside the two tracts of the optic nerve, and just above (and intimately connected with) the pituitary gland.
What gland is located close to the stomach and small intestine?
the pancreas
Which hormone uses feedback mechanism to control body water levels?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): A relatively small (peptide) molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus).ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine (and so is antidiuretic).
