*Hypothalamus gland is located in the brain.
* One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis).
*There are two sets of nerve cells in the hypothalamus that produce hormones. One set sends the hormones they produce down through the pituitarystalk to the posterior lobe of thepituitary gland where these hormones are released directly into the bloodstream. These hormones are anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin

location
hypothalamus gland is  located below thalamus and is part of the limbic system in the brain

function
 hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland 

what its produce

There are two sets of nerve cells in the hypothalamus that produce hormones. One set sends the hormones they produce down through the pituitary stalk to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland where these hormones are released directly into the bloodstream. These hormones are anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin. Anti-diuretic hormone causes water reabsorption at the kidneys and oxytocin stimulates contraction of the uterus in childbirth and is important in breastfeeding.

The other set of nerve cells produces stimulating and inhibiting hormones that reach the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland via a network of blood vessels that run down through the pituitary stalk. These regulate the production of hormones that control the gonads, thyroid gland and adrenal cortex, as well as the production of growth hormone, which regulates growth, and prolactin, which is essential for milk production. The hormones produced in the hypothalamus are corticotrophin-releasing hormone, dopamine, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and Thyrotrophin-releasing hormone.
