Question

Please someone tell me about posterior pituitary gland,

Answer 1

The posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis) comprises the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system. Hormones known as posterior pituitary hormones are synthesized by the hypothalamus, and include oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.

The posterior lobe does not produce hormones per se—this is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamus—but it does release them into the circulation. The hormones of the pituitary gland send signals to other endocrine glands to stimulate or inhibit their own hormone production.

PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIST

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer!!

Answer:

The posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis) is the posterior lobe of the pituitary glandwhich is part of the endocrine system. The posterior pituitary is not glandular as is the anterior pituitary. Instead, it is largely a collection of axonal projections from the hypothalamus that terminate behind the anterior pituitary, and serve as a site for the secretion of neurohypophysial hormones(oxytocin and vasopressin) directly into the blood.The hypothalamic–neurohypophyseal system is composed of the hypothalamus (the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus), posterior pituitary, and these axonal projections.

hope this helps you!!
