Does the pituitary gland make insulin?
No, insulin is made by beta cells in the pancreas. The pituitary gland is an endocrine organ, however, and it secretes many hormones. The anterior pituitary secretes FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH, and GH, and prolactin. The posterior pituitary secretes oxytocin and vasopressin that are synthesized by the hypothalamus.
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.
What does the pituitary gland secrete?
The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone and lutenizing hormone.
Growth hormone is secreted by what gland?
Hormones are secreted by the endocrine.
What is the neurohypothesis?
posterior portion of the pituitary gland
What gland secretes antidiuretic hormone?
Posterior pituitary, produced in the hypothalamus
What organ contains target cells for oxytocin?
Oxytocin is released by posterior pitutory.It is produced by hypothalamus.

Which gland that secretes oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. It is best known for its roles in sexual reproduction, in particular during and after childbirth. It is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, facilitating birth, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating breastfeeding.

What gland secretes luteinizing hormone?
The pituitary.
What gland contains the anterior pituitary?
