What is the hormone Oxytocin used for?
Oxytocin is sometimes known as the cuddle hormone because of its influence on maternal behavior and pair bonding. It is found all over the brains and reproductive systems of both sexes. Oxytocin is produced naturally in the hypothalamus in the brain. It hormone that affects the brain as a result of its interactions with gonadal steroids like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and corticosterone. This hormone is key to pair bonding. Oxytocin is a hormone that is released into the blood during many types of touching. The physical effects of oxytocin include increased sensitivity of nerve endings, stimulated muscle contractions, increased heart rate plus an urge to touch and cuddle. The emotional feelings it produces are associated with affection, bonding, caring, love, peace, nurturing, security, and attachment. Oxytocin is one of the two major hormones secreted from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. he posterior pituitary itself largely comprises endings of nerves whose cell bodies lie in the brain in the hypothalamus. Oxytocin is a relatively small peptide hormone, composed of only 9 amino acids. It is synthesized in nerve cells in the hypothalamus in the form of a larger, precursor molecule, which is transported down the nerve fibres through the pituitary stalk to the posterior lobe. The active hormone is cleaved from the precursor during this process.

What hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus?
There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.The 7 different hormones released are:GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)
Why is the pituitary gland called hypophyseal gland?
Another name for the pituitary gland is the hypophysis (it may be called the hypophyseal gland by some). This name comes from the Greek words that mean "grows under" and "to make grow". This name was given because the pituitary gland is located under a very important structure called the hypothalamus, from which it get almost all of its instructions on what hormones to secrete. Further, the hormones that the pituitary secretes are important for skeletal growth, development of other glands and organs, etc. Thus, the description "grows under" and "to make grow" are good descriptions of the location and function of the pituitary.
