What do releasing hormones do?

Releasing hormones are produced by the hypothalamus to stimulate the pituitary gland to release its own hormones. These releasing hormones regulate the secretion of hormones from various endocrine glands in the body, helping to maintain proper hormonal balance and functionality.


Where do endocrine glands release their hormones into?

directly into the blood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_glands


Can nerve impulses from the brain cause the release of hormones?

Yes, nerve impulses from the brain can trigger the release of hormones through the activation of the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus then signals the pituitary gland to release specific hormones that regulate various bodily functions.


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.


The hormones stored in the posterior pituitary are released only when triggered by the what?

The hormones stored in the posterior pituitary gland, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, are released in response to nerve signals from the hypothalamus. These hormones are only released when specific stimuli trigger their release, such as childbirth or changes in blood osmolarity.
