The main differences between the posterior and anterior pituitary glands are in their functions and hormone secretion. The posterior pituitary mainly stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, while the anterior pituitary produces and releases its own hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone.
The infundibulum is a funnel-shaped structure in the brain that connects the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus. Its function is to allow hormones produced by the hypothalamus to be transported and released into the pituitary gland for further regulation of hormone production and secretion.
Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).
The anterior pituitary is connected to the hypothalamus through a network of blood vessels called the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system. This system allows hormones produced by the hypothalamus to be transported directly to the anterior pituitary where they can regulate the release of pituitary hormones into the bloodstream.
i releases hormones and controls body activities directly.
The hormone that regulates milk secretion is called prolactin. It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to the stimulation of the nipples during breastfeeding.
It is the hypothalamus. It controls the pituitary secretions
ADH secretion is stimulated by factors such as dehydration, high blood osmolality, low blood pressure, and stress. These conditions trigger the hypothalamus to release ADH from the posterior pituitary gland to help regulate water balance in the body.
Oxytocin is secreted by the posterior pituitary and is peptide/water-soluble. It stimulates contractions during childbirth and milk secretion during nursing.

The posterior pituitary gland primarily releases hormones produced in the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin. These hormones play roles in regulating water balance, blood pressure, and uterine contractions during childbirth.

No, the secretion of pituitary hormones is largely controlled by the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones that regulate the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. The thalamus is primarily involved in relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex.
Hypothalamus
The pituitary gland controls the secretion of growth hormone.

Somatostatin is a hormone produced in the pancreas and other parts of the body that regulates various physiological functions, including the inhibition of growth hormone secretion from the pituitary gland and the inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the stomach. It also plays a role in regulating insulin and glucagon secretion from the pancreas.
