The pituitary gland is located at the base of the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland is made up of two lobes, each controlled by the hypothalamus by different mechanisms. Identify each characteristic as applying to hypothalamic control of either the anterior pituitary or the posterior pituitary. Anterior pituitary Posterior pituitary possesses receptors for hypothalamic neurohormones blood portal system between pituitary and hypothalamus neurohormones travelling loypothalamic son for storage directly interconnected with hypothalamus through an axontract releases stored hormones in response to...

Match the endocrine gland with the appropriate item below: thyroid gland adrenal medulla Hypothalamus neurohypophysis pineal gland Derived from the diencephalon; secretes hormones in the median eminence to control the master gland. Secretes the hormone melatonin which is classically recognized for shifting body circadian rhythms A modified sympathetic ganglion that secretes catecholamines; forms the core on another, steroid hormone-secreting endocrine structure comprised of three zones. Secretes the nanopeptide hormones vasopression and oxytocin in a reflexive fashion. Most highly vascularized tissue...
