Which area of the brain regulates the endocrine system?
mid brain regulates the endocrine system. hypothalamus (part of mid brain) connects with pituitary gland , known as master gland (it controls secretion of hormones from other endocrine glands)
What are the endocrine functions of the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is a collection of specialized cells that is located in the lower central part of the brain, is the primary link between the endocrine and nervous systems. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus control the pituitary gland by producing chemicals that either stimulate or suppress hormone secretions from the pituitary. Although it is no bigger than a pea, the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain just beneath the hypothalamus, is considered the most important part of the endocrine system. It's often called the "master gland" because it makes hormones that control several other endocrine glands. The production and secretion of pituitary hormones can be influenced by factors such as emotions and seasonal changes. To accomplish this, the hypothalamus relays information sensed by the brain (such as environmental temperature, light exposure patterns, and feelings) to the pituitary.
If the connection between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus were severed how would this effect the secretion of epinephrine?
The connection between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus is necessary for survival because specific releasing hormones in the hypothalamus trigger the production and release of hormones made in the ant. pit. Seeing how the secretion of epinephrine would be triggered in the adrenal medula by a hormone produced in the ant. pit., I believe that the secretion of epinephrine would not occur if the connection between the hypothalamus and ant. pit. were to be severed.
What is the name of an endocrine secretion in the male reproductive system?
Testosterone is the endocrine secretion produced by the testes, which are part of the male reproductive system and the endocrine system.
What type of secretion is insulin?
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
What interactions does the digestive system have to do with the endocrine system?
Many of the digestive organs secrete hormones. Additionally hormones secreted in the hypothalamus activate acid secretion in the stomach and trigger fullness/hunger.
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.

Which control the secretion of pituitary gland?
Hypothalamus
What is the process that controls the levels of endocrine secretions called?
overall it would be negative feedbackthe hypothalamus controls the secretion of anterior and posterior pituitary hormones and the pituitary controls the secretion of many other glands. It's a complicated process with many different pathways.

Where is hypothalamus stored?
Hypothalamus is not a secretion and not stored as such any where. It is the part of brain. it is situated below the thalamus.
