5.Function of the Connection: The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland stores and releases hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). When needed, these hormones are released into the bloodstream from the posterior lobe. ...

Endogenous oxytocin is produced by neurons within the supra-optic and paraventricular nuclei (SON and PVN) in the hypothalamus and transferred to the posterior pituitary gland for release into the circulation to the periphery. Peripheral physiological effects of endogenous oxytocin include facilitating the...
There are different parts of the pituitary gland that have selective functions. The posterior lobe, called the neurohypophysis, releases the hormones vasopressin and oxytocin, but doesn't produce them. Vasopressin is an anti-diuretic that controls how the kidneys absorb water. Oxytocin is a special...
aThe posterior lobe of the pituitary gland has an abundant nerve supply. Nerve cell bodies in the posterior lobe produce two neurosecretions(antidiuretic hormone [ADH] and oxytocin), which are stored as granules at the site of the nerve cell bodies. When the hypothalamus detects a need for eit...

which contains vasculature and nerve axons. The pituitary gland is divided into two distinct structures with different embryonic origins. The posterior lobe houses the axon terminals of hypothalamic neurons. It stores and releases into the bloodstream two hypothalamic hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic ho...
In addition to the aforementioned effects, Ang II also stimulates the hypothalamic thirst centre, causing an increased production of ADH by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, which is then released by the posterior pituitary gland into the bloodstream. ADH binds to V2receptors in the distal ...
aThe pituitary gland rests in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone at the base of the brain. This gland is divided into the anterior and posterior lobes. Because of its glandular nature, the anterior lobe is called the adenohypophysis , the posterior lobe, which is an outgrowth of a par...
