What are the two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the pituitary?
Oxitocin, and ADH
What is Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin are both hormones stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. The main functions of Oxytocin are aiding in sexual reproduction. The main function of ADH is retaining fluid in the body.
Antidiuretic hormone is secreted by what?
Hypothalamus produces it, then it's stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
The hormones stored in the posterior pituitary are released only when triggered by the what?
In the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus is in charge of triggering the release of hormones. Some of the hormones released include thyrotropin and follicle stimulating hormone.
What is the hormone of the thyroid?
T3-Triiodothyronin and T4-Thyroxine. These are amino acid based thyroid hormones that bind to receptors within the cell. They are stored in the colloid for about a couople of weeks as a protein called thyroglobulin.

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 hormones are produced and released in the brain?
A hormone, wherever it is formed, that is delivered to the target tissue via the blood is called an endocrine (endo = within + crine = to secrete) hormone. They may be or protein or steroid structure. Neurons that make hormones are located in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone which are stored in the posterior pituitary (neurohypothalamus). They are still distributed as the other endocrine hormones are.
Which hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus and stored in and released by the pituitary gland?
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Where is antidiuretic hormone stored?
Antidiuretic hormone is made in the hypothalamus and then stored in the axon terminals (or nerve ends) of the posterior pituitary gland, which lies just below the hypothalamus and is linked to it by a network of nerve fibres.
Antidiuretic hormone is secreted by what?
Hypothalamus produces it, then it's stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
What hormones are produced and released by neurons in the brain rather that by the endocrine glands?

What is the meaning of oxytin?
Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the human brain. It is stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.
What is the hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates uterine contractions?
The hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterus in mammals is oxytocin. However, the story is probably rather more complex. In mice, for example, that had no cell membrane receptors for oxytocin, birth took place as usual. Oxytocin has a short peptide molecule consisting of just nine amino acids.
What is being controlled in oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. It is used to start labor or to strengthen it. It can help reduce blood loss after delivery. Other uses are to keep men faithful, (often referred to as the trust hormone) As pain relief and as an anti-inflamatory An aid for dieters As an antidepressant and stress reliever
