posterior pituitary
The pituitary gland is part of the endocrine system. The endocrine system and the nervous system function together to maintain homeostasis. The two work together as one system.Glands of the endocrine system are widely scattered throughout the body.The pituitary gland is known as the master gland and it is divided into an anterior and posterior part.The pituitary secretes somatotrophs, corticotrophs, thyrotrophs, lactrotrophs and gonadotrophs.
posterior lobe
anterior pituitary
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.
Endocrine system and nervous system .
The pituitary gland controls the endocrine system.
The nervous system and the endocrine system
The posterior pituitary gland is composed of nervous tissue. It stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, into the bloodstream.
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.
The adrenal medulla and the pituitary gland are two endocrine glands that contain a mixture of nervous and epithelial tissues. The adrenal medulla is part of the adrenal glands and is composed of neural tissue, while the pituitary gland is located in the brain and consists of both nervous and glandular tissue.
The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain that is part of the central nervous system but also plays a crucial role in producing and regulating hormones for the endocrine system. It acts as a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system by controlling the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
