I believe your understanding ofhe blood/brain barrier is slightly flawed. It is created by the type of blood vessels that supply the brain being largely impermeable, the entire brain isn't kept away form the blood by a barrier there are blood vessels all over it. The vessels that supply the pituitary are far more permable than the ones that suppy the cortex. This is because these vessels must collect the hrmones produced by the gland. In short the answer to yu question is sort of outside but in reality it doens work like that.
What else can I help you with?
Is there a part of the brain that can detect what is in the blood and is not part of the BBB?
Yes, there are several. A major one would be the area postrema, which is located in the medulla. This area can "sample" the contents of the bloodstream. If it detects a toxin, vomiting is induced. Some hormones travel in the blood stream to get to their destination. The hypothalamus exploits the stream by sending certain neurohormones toward the pituitary gland. In this manner, the hypothalamus can exert some control over the pituitary gland.
What part of the pituitary gland releases ACTH?
The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is responsible for stimulating the adrenal glands to produce cortisol in response to stress and low blood cortisol levels.
Several hormones are synthesized n the hypothalamus and transported th the anterior pituitary gland the mechanism of transportation from hypothalamus to anterior pituitary gland is through the?
The mechanism of transportation from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland is through a system of blood vessels called the hypothalamic-pituitary portal system, which connects the two structures. Hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus are released into these blood vessels and then travel to the anterior pituitary gland where they can regulate the secretion of pituitary hormones.
How does hypothalamus control the pituitary?
The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland through the release of hypothalamic-releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones. These hormones travel through a network of blood vessels to the pituitary gland and stimulate or inhibit the release of various hormones from the pituitary. This way, the hypothalamus regulates the endocrine functions of the pituitary gland.
What is one thing the pituitary gland cant live without?
The pituitary gland cannot live without blood supply, specifically from the portal circulation that connects it to the hypothalamus. This blood flow is crucial for receiving signals and hormones from the hypothalamus, which regulate the pituitary's hormone secretion. Without this connection, the pituitary would be unable to perform its essential functions in controlling other endocrine glands and maintaining homeostasis in the body.
Blood and lymph are examples of what?
inside cell/outside cell body fluids.
What is the color of MrSpock blood?

Does netilmicin crosses blood brain barrier?
Netilmicin does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
Why are your vein blue on the outside and red on the inside?
because walruss's dyed ur vein blue, but then put its period blood inside.
Does dopamine cross the blood-brain barrier?
Yes, dopamine can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Is insulin cross blood brain barrier?
Insulin does crosses the blood brain barrier. Insulin crosses the blood brain barrier through the process of receptor-mediated transcytosis.

What is the meaning of blood clotting?
Have you ever had a scab? Its like that, only instead of the red blood cells clotting on the outside, they mess up and do it inside.
What do you understand by clotting of blood?
Have you ever had a scab? Its like that, only instead of the red blood cells clotting on the outside, they mess up and do it inside.
What are the symptoms of pituitary apoplexy?
There are many symptoms of pituitary apoplexy. These include severe headaches, sudden loss of vision or double vision. This is because of the severe restriction of blood to the pituitary gland.
