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.

What does the infundibulum connect the hypothalamus with?
The infundibulum connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland. It serves as a bridge for communication between the two structures, allowing the transmission of hormones and signals that regulate various bodily functions.
To what specific part of the brain does the infundibulum connect to the pituitary gland?
The infundibulum connects the hypothalamus of the brain to the pituitary gland.
What is the difference between protein hormones and steroid hormones and how they communicate with their target cells?
Steroid hormones arelipid-soluble and can dissolve easily into the cell membrane of the target cell to connect with receptors. Protein hormones are water-soluble and connect with receptors at the membrane because it can't diffuse through the membrane.
Why is it advantageous for the nervous system and endocrine system to be connected and interrelated?
The advantages for the nervous system and endocrine system to be connected and interrelated is the fact that like most systems is regulated by feedback mechanisms that function to maintain homeostasis and the nervous system controls and responds to internal and external stimuli.

What are the functions of the hypothalamus?
One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to connect the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It is also responsible for certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system.
How is the anterior pituitary connected to the hypothalamus?
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.

To what specific part of the brain does the infundibulum connect to the pituitary gland?
The infundibulum connects the hypothalamus of the brain to the pituitary gland.
Why portal system exist?
It helps to connect the hypothalamus with the anterior pituitary. Its main purpose is to transport and transfer hormones to allow a quick communication between both glands.
How does the hypothalamus send TRH to the pituitary gland?
The hypothalamus sends the TRH hormone via some capillaries. Now, these are very special capillaries, yes they connect to the circulation, as capillaries do. However, these capillaries are different in that they act as a portal. In fact, they have a name for them too, called the hypothalamo-pituitary portal vessels. Basically how they work is, blood coming from the heart first integrates into the hypothalamus, and upon the exocytosis type of release from the nuclei within the hypothalamus that contain the hormones (talking about in this way the nuclui that produce the homones release those hormones directly into capillaries via a similar manner as how neurotransmitters are released into a synapse). Once the hormones are released into the capillaries of the hypothalamus-pituitary vessels, they travel down and into the anterior pituitary. Where they are actively transported into the cells of the anterior pituitary (notice nothing about the posterior pituitary, because that functions in a different manner).
What are rathhispouches?
these are those pouches that connect hypothalamus to pituatary gland
What do you use to start hypothalamus gland?
The hypothalamus gland is a gland that controls and regulate the brain temperature.the infindibulum helps to connect with the pituary gland
How is the endocrine system and the cardiovascular system interdependent?
The endocrine system is the source of various hormones; the cardiovascular system is it's distribution system. Some of those hormones effect the C-V system, but never enough to alter it's distribution function.
What do you call the neurons that connect the brain with endocrine glands?
the motor glands
How do hormones reach the cells they affect?
The traditional approach is that human and animal hormones are produced in endocrine glands, which release them directly into blood, and the bloodstream carries them to their target cells. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be blood, it can be tissue fluid as well. (And not all organisms that have hormones have blood either. In plants for example, hormones can migrate to other cells from the site of production through the plasmodesmata that connect neighboring cells.)
