messengers produced and secreted by
endocrine cells into the bloodstream.

hormones. Tropic hormones get feedback
about specific target glands by constant
monitoring of levels of hormone.

hormones

13. THE PITUITARY
1 The pituitary is located just below the brain,
and this location is crucial for its function.
1 The part of the brain in direct contact with
the pituitary is the hypothalamus, but neural
pathways mediate influences of other parts
of the brain on the pituitary.
1 As described in the above figure (including
the legend!), the pituitary in the human
consists of two lobes: the anterior pituitary
(adenohypophysis), and the posterior lobe.

14. 1 The posterior lobe is also referred to as “the
neurohypophysis”. However, these two terms are
not entirely synonymous, as will be explained
later.
1 Anatomically, the pituitary is connected to the
hypothalamus by the stalk, a “stem” much thinner
than the pituitary itself.
1 The interrelation of the two parts of the pituitary
with the brain is different in nature.
1 The endocrine cells of the anterior pituitary are
epithelial. There are five types of
adenohypopyseal cells, each specializing in
producing one or two hormones, all of them
proteins or long polypeptides.

15. 1 Of the six hormones of the anterior pituitary
discussed in this course, four are tropic (trophic)
hormones, namely, hormones whose central target
organ is an endocrine gland.
1 The hypothalamus regulates the anterior pituitary
cells via neurohormones, produced by
hypothalamic neurons. The hypothalamic
hormones are secreted from the nerve endings of
these neurons (i.e., from the end of their axons).
1 They then diffuse into the portal system (branched
blood vessels), which brings them to the anterior
pituitary cells.
1 The hypothalamic hormones are cell-type specific.

Most of the hypothalamic hormones are
stimulatory, but there are several inhibitory ones as
well.

16. 1 The anterior pituitary has five types of cells-
cells-
somtotrophs, thyrotrophs, gonadotrophs,
lactotrophs and corticotrophs. These cells
secrete seven hormones.

posterior pituitary are vasopressin (or anti
diuretic hormone – ADH), and oxytocin.

the thyroid hormones: T4 (tyroxine, or
