Does pons signal the anterior pituitary gland to release its hormones?
The hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones that stimulate the release of hormones by the anterior pituitary. These hypothalamic releasing hormones include: * Thyrotropin-releasing hormone * Corticotropin-releasing hormone * Gonadotropin-releasing hormone * Growth hormone-releasing hormone
What do releasing hormones do?
stimulate the release of other hypothalamic hormones...
How do the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland interact?
it is by the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones.
Can the hypothalamus function without the pituitary?
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.

How is the anterior pituitary connected to the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland in two ways. One is via the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones. The other is a direct anatomical connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary gland. In fact, the posterior pituitary gland is actually just an extension of the hypothalamus. When we talk about hormones released by the posterior pituitary, we're actually talking about hormones made and released by the hypothalamus. It just so happens that with the naked eye, it looks like the anterior and posterior pituitary are all part of one big pituitary gland. But microscopically, functionally and anatomically, the pituitary gland is just an outgrowth of the hypothalamus.
What is the name of the hormones that target other endocrine glands to stimulate their growth and secretion?
The names of the hormones that target other endocrine glands stimulate their secretions are tropic hormones. Most, if not all, tropic hormones come from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.

What controls the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary?
hypothalamus of the brain secretes neural hormone which controls the pituitary gland, secretions of pituitary gland are popularly called as trophic hormones which control all other endocrine glands of human body
Male reproductive functions are controlled mainly by hormones from the hypothalamus and?
anterior pituitary gland and testes
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 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.
