Explanation:
hypothalamus: integrates the endocrine and nervous systems; receives input from the body and other brain areas and initiates endocrine responses to environmental changes; synthesizes hormones which are stored in the posterior pituitary gland; also synthesizes and secretes regulatory hormones that control the endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary gland. Hormones produced include
growth-hormone releasing hormone: stimulates release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary
corticotropin-releasing hormone: stimulates release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary
thyrotropin-releasing hormone: stimulates release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary
gonadotropin-releasing hormone: stimulates release of follicle -stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary
antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin): promotes reabsorption of water by kidneys; stored in posterior pituitary
oxytocin: induces uterine contractions labor and milk release from mammary glands; stored in posterior pituitary
pituitary gland: the body’s master gland; located at the base of the brain and attached to the hypothalamus via a stalk called the pituitary stalk; has two distinct regions: the anterior portion of the pituitary gland is regulated by releasing or release-inhibiting hormones produced by the hypothalamus, and the posterior pituitary receives signals via neurosecretory cells to release hormones produced by the hypothalamus.
