How is the secretory activity of the adenohypophysis controlled?
The secretory activity of the adenohypophysis is controlled by releasing hormones from the hypothalamus. These releasing hormones stimulate or inhibit the release of specific hormones from the adenohypophysis. The hypothalamus communicates with the adenohypophysis through the hypophyseal portal system, which carries releasing hormones directly from the hypothalamus to the adenohypophysis.
Another term for the anterior pituitary is the?
adenohypophysis
What are two divisions of the pituitary gland?
Adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis
How is the relationship between adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis different?
The adenohypophysis, also known as the anterior pituitary gland, produces and secretes its own hormones under the control of releasing hormones from the hypothalamus. In contrast, the neurohypophysis, or posterior pituitary gland, stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, including oxytocin and vasopressin, which are transported down axons from the hypothalamus.
What does somastotatin do?
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.

Where are the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis located?
The adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis are located in the pituitary gland, which is in the center of the brain.
What is the site of prolactin synthesis?
Adenohypophysis
Where are releasing hormones secreted into?
adenohypophysis
Another term for the anterior pituitary is the?
adenohypophysis
As a result of stress the adenohypophysis release what?
ACTH
The hypothalamus controls secretion by the adenohypophysis by what?
body heat
What is the hormone produced by the basophilic cells of the adenohypophysis?
oxytocin
What are two divisions of the pituitary gland?
Adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis
Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?
Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).
What is another name for the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
Adenohypophysis
