To discuss:
The anatomical relationship between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland; two main parts of the pituitary gland and their communication with the hypothalamus.
Introduction:
The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are primarily involved in the endocrine hormone cascade pathway and they stimulate signals to their target glands or organs. When the hypothalamus receives signals from nerves, it produces neuroendocrine signals to other endocrine glands. It maintains homeostasis and regulates body temperature, hunger, sleep, and reproduction. It also regulates certain

- Where hormone receptors are located in thetarget cells, and differences between receptor systems for hydrophilic and hydrophobichormonesarrow_forwardEndocrinology Because they are relatively hydrophobic, peptide hormones can interact with both cytoplasmic and nuclear receptors, depending on the specific hormone. Rather than being stored in intracellular vesicles, catecholamine hormones are synthesized on demand and released immediately upon being synthesized. Although vasopressin is synthesized in the hypothalamus, it is released from the terminals of neurons located in the posterior pituitary.arrow_forwardHow the negative feedback mechanism controls hormonal activity and yet allows hypo- and hypersecretion disorders to occur (for example, hypothyrodism and hyperthyrodism).arrow_forward
