Oxytocin and vasopressin are neurohypophysis hormones synthesized in the neurons of paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus and travel to the terminals in the neurohypophysis for storage and release into the vascular system. Oxytocin stimulates milk ejection and uterine smooth muscle contraction at parturition; while vasopressin affects water retention and blood pressure.
Glands produce hormones that regulate various functions in the body, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Hormones are secreted by glands like the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands to communicate messages throughout the body and maintain balance.
Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The main endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The hypothalamus is a neuroendocrine organ. Other organs which are not so well known for their endocrine activity include the stomach, which produces such hormones as ghrelin.
Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands, which are part of the endocrine system.
The anterior pituitary gland secretes several trophic hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH), and prolactin. These hormones regulate the function of other endocrine glands in the body.
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Growth hormone is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control(regulate) growth.
Glands produce hormones that regulate various functions in the body, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Hormones are secreted by glands like the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands to communicate messages throughout the body and maintain balance.
Glands that secrete hormones do that into the blood, not into ducts. Hormones are not secreted into ducts. glands that secrete into ducts are called exocrine glands. Glands that secrete hormones are endocrine glands.
ALL hormones by definition are secreted directly into the blood stream (and hence without the use of a duct). Glands that produce them are called endocrine glands. Major endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and pineal glands. Glands such as the pancreas have a "dual" function in that they secrete via a duct (exocrine function) as well as secreting hormones (endocrine function).
That is anterior pituitary. It affects on ovaries

The hypothalamus is the hub for the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls the functioning of the pituitary gland.The pituitary secretions exercise control over other endocrine glands. Some of the important hormones secreted by the pituitary are the growth hormone, prolactin, corticotropin, endorphin and thyrotropin.The thyroid hormones are vial to the development of brain and nervous system in children.
No, adreanaline is made in the adrenal gland.
The glands of the endocrine system transport hormones in the body. Some of those glands are the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands.
