What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.

What is the main structure for endocrine system?
Pick three: Adrenal Glands Hypothalamus Ovaries Pancreas Pineal Gland Pituitary Gland Testes Thymus Thyroid Gland
What hormones are produced by the thyroid gland?

Functions of thyroid pituitary and pancres glands?
According to Wikipedia the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland, and the pancreas are part of the endocrine system. The main function of these, and other glands within the endocrine system, is to secrete hormones into the blood.
Is the main source of tropic hormones from the pituitary gland?
Yes, the main source of tropic hormones is the anterior pituitary gland. This gland releases hormones that control the function of other endocrine glands in the body, such as the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, and gonads. The tropic hormones include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

What does the pituitary gland does for the brain?
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and serves the main purpose of a neuroendocrine regulator of several different hormonal systems. Its main purpose is to release stimulating hormones that regulate the adrenal, thyroid, and other endocrine glands. It works by use of a feedback loop from these downstream organs.
