Which hormones are secreted by your posterior pituitary gland?
DrAshokDeshmukh
Antidiauretic hormone and Oxytocin are the two hormones released by posterior Pituitary gland. A.D.H. conserve the body water by reducing amount of urine. Oxytocin increases the milk secretion and to induce delivery you put a drip of Oxytocin. It promotes uterine contractions and relaxes the cervix to hasten delivery.

What is the target organ of LH?
There are two parts of the pituitary gland; the anterior and the posterior. The hormones secreted in the anterior pituitary gland go to the ovaries and testicles as well as many other parts of the whole body (liver, muscles, cartilage, bone, etc.) The hormones secreted in the posterior pituitary gland go into the kidneys, uterus, and breasts.
Hypothalamus produces hormones secreted by which gland?
Pituitary Gland
What is secreted by the neurosecretory cells in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary has neurosecretory tissue. It is activated by impulses from the hypothalamus and release hormones such as oxytocin and ADH.
What hormones are made by the posterior pituitary?
The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones. It produces antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.
What is called the decrease of all hormones secreted by the pituitary gland?
panhypopituitarism
Growth hormone is secreted by what gland?
Hormones are secreted by the endocrine.
What are Oxytocin and ADH secreted by?
The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland in the brain.

Oxytocin and ADH are produced by the?
The posterior pituitary gland, a.k.a, neurohypophysis. These are the only 2 hormones that are secreted from here.
Hypothalamus produces hormones secreted by which gland?
Pituitary Gland
What produces hormones that are secreted by the pituitary gland?
the hypothalamus
What is the function of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
The function of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland is to store and secrete hormones that are produced by the brain. These hormones are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
Can the pituitary gland function without the hypothalamus?
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.
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.
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.
Does the pituitary gland regulate glands growth?
Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control(regulate) growth.
What hormones are made by the posterior pituitary?
The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones. It produces antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.
