The posterior pituitary(or neurohypophysis)comprises the posterior lobe of the pituitary
gland and is part of the endocrine system.
It secretes oxytocin and vasopressin which are
produced by the hypothalamus.
The hormones produced by the hypothalamus arestored in the Herring Bodies before being secreted
by the posterior pituitary.

Hormones secreted by the P. Pituitary:
1. Oxytocin - Uterine contractions; lactation
2. Vasopressin - Stimulates water retention;raises blood pressure by contractingarterioles, induces male aggression

1. VASOPRESSIN (VP) Targets Kidneys or Arterioles
Also known as Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
retention of water released when the body is dehydrated and causes
the kidney to conserve water
plays a key role in homeostasis increases peripheral vascular resistance
(vasoconstriction) and thus increases arterial blood
pressure

ADH is a test that measures the amount of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) in blood
Indications: Diagnosis and characterization of diabetes insipidus (DI) Buildup of fluids in your body that are causing swelling or
puffiness Excessive amounts of urine Thirst that is intense or uncontrollable

The patient should fast for at least 6 hours.No liquid intake is allowed.
A blood sample is needed.
The blood is acidified, then centrifuged.
After adding a buffer, the specimen ismeasured for ADH by RIA.

2. OXYTOCIN (OT) Targets the uterus and mammary glands plays roles in sexual reproduction, in
particular during and after childbirth. Released after distention the uterus and
cervix during labor
Also released after nipple stimulation orbreastfeeding Positive feedback Mechanism

Used to determine how well the baby wouldundergo against the stress of labor
The mother is injected with Oxytocin,intravenously. Oxytocin would give the mother contractions
3-4 mins. apart for 1 whole hour.

-Heart rate of the baby is measured duringthese contractions
> (+) Increased Fetal Heart Rate-Baby will not be able to toleratecontractions
-Wean Birth is recommended>(-) Normal Fetal Heart Rate-Baby will be able to tolerate contractions-Normal Birth

The parathyroid glandsare small endocrineglands in the neck that produce parathyroid
hormone Humans usually have four parathyroid
glands, which are usually located on the rearsurface of the thyroid gland.
Parathyroid glands control the amount ofcalcium in the blood and within the bones.

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) targets the bones and the kidney
secreted by the chief cells of the parathyroidglands increase the concentration of calcium in
the blood It also helps in Vitamin D synthesis PTH half-life is approximately 4 minutes

Stimulators: Secretion of parathyroid hormone is
controlled chiefly by serum [Ca2+
]through negative feedback. Mild decreases in serum [Mg2+]. An increase in serum phosphate

Helps diagnose the reason for High or Low calciumlevels
Helps distinguish between parathyroid-related and
non-parathyroid-related causes It is also used to monitor patients with:
1.) Chronic Calcium Imbalances
2.) Surgery or Treatment of patients with
Parathyroid Tumors3.) Chronic Kidney Disease
4.) Hyperparathyroidism (Intraoperative
PTHT)

Interpretation
Normal Value ofPTH: 65 pg/mL
NV for serum calcium is 2.25-2.5 mmol/l
