What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.
Adh is produced where?
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It is then transported to the nearby pituitary gland and is then released for use in the body.
How is the anterior pituitary connected to the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland in two ways. One is via the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones. The other is a direct anatomical connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary gland. In fact, the posterior pituitary gland is actually just an extension of the hypothalamus. When we talk about hormones released by the posterior pituitary, we're actually talking about hormones made and released by the hypothalamus. It just so happens that with the naked eye, it looks like the anterior and posterior pituitary are all part of one big pituitary gland. But microscopically, functionally and anatomically, the pituitary gland is just an outgrowth of the hypothalamus.
Which organ is not an endocrine gland but has a role in endocrine function?
The hypothalamus is considered part of the nervous system but in reality it also produces hormones that both regulate and are released from the pituitary gland, a true endocrine gland.
What connects the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary?
By using the gravilite projectiles aiming stimulation towards your reluctent postual clavicle, streaming straight to your phalanges causing major damage, or as the sloppy male likes to call it "you'll be like a babe on he rags"
What organ contains target cells for oxytocin?
Oxytocin is released by posterior pitutory.It is produced by hypothalamus.
Where is Anti-diuretic hormone produced?
ADH is released by the brain's pituitary gland.ADH is not produced in the pituitary gland.it is made in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary its hypothalmus
Is aldosterone released from pituitary gland?
Yes,it is released from posterior pitutory.It is produced in hypothalamus.
Where is anti- diuretic produced?
ADH is released by the brain's pituitary gland.ADH is not produced in the pituitary gland.it is made in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary its hypothalmus
Which hormone is secreted by the pituitary glands and increase the permeability of the collecting tube to water?
AntiDiuretic Hormone (ADH) released from the posterior part of the pituitary
The hormones stored in the posterior pituitary are released only when triggered by the what?
In the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus is in charge of triggering the release of hormones. Some of the hormones released include thyrotropin and follicle stimulating hormone.
What organ causes uterine contractions?
Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract. Oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary gland.

Produces oxytocin and ADH that are released within the posterior pituitary gland?
ADH and Oxytocin is produced by hypothalamus.It is secreted by inferior pitutory.
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.
Adh is produced where?
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It is then transported to the nearby pituitary gland and is then released for use in the body.
How do releasing hormones of the hypothalamus connect the nervous and endocrine system?
Hypothalamus controls the posterior pituitary gland which is connected with axons. Thus the hypothalamus synthesizes oxytocin and anti-diuretic hormones which are then packaged in secretory vesicles and moved to axons. When axon terminals are triggered, the hormones are released in the capillaries of posterior pituitary.
