Summary Introduction

To explain:

The way in which the hypothalamus controls the body functions through its actions on the pituitary gland and the way in which the control over the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is different from the control over the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

Introduction:

The hypothalamus is the major controlling organ of the body. It is such an organ, which controls even the master gland called the pituitary gland. It is a part of the brain. It receives signals from the brain and also by the allosteric inhibition by the hormones itself. In these ways, the hypothalamus controls the metabolism of the body.
