Hypothalamic-Pituitary Systems
The pituitary is controlled largely by the hypothalamus: interaction of the nervous and endocrine system.
Three separate glands
Anterior lobe: endocrine, 6 hormones
Intermediate : minor, 1
Posterior : neuroendocrine, 2

Posterior pituitary contains the axons from the neurons that have their cell bodies in the hypothalamus.

ANTERIORPITUITARY
Secretory cells that produce anterior pituitary hormones
Anterior pituitary hormonesVenous outflow
Gonadotropic Thyroid-Proactin hormones stimulating ACTH Growth (FSH and LH) hormone hormone
Hypothalamus releases hormones at median eminence and those hormones are carried to anterior via portal vein.
Slide 5
Oxytocin and ADH are synthesized in soma in hypothalamus and released from nerve terminals in post. Pituitary.
Various inputs influence supraoptic and paraventricular neurons to control secretion.

Slide 6
Hypothalamic releasing hormones travel to ant. pit. and control secretion from cells there.
One hypothalamic hormone may control more than one ant. pit. hormone (stim. or inhibit).
Slide 7
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
Effect: water retention by kidneys
Stimulator: 1) an increase in osmolality in blood and ECF 2) a large decrease in blood volume
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Slide 8
Suckling and other stimuli trigger oxytocin release to transfer milk from alveoli to ducts.
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
Slide 9
Anterior Pituitary Hormones
Somatotropes (50%) = GH
corticotropes (20%) = ACTH
thyrotropes (5%) = TSH
Gonadotropes (5%) = LH and FSH
Lactotropes (variable) = Prolactin
Slide 10
LH and FSH (the gonadotropins) :promote production of sperm, egg, and sex steroids.
Prolactin Stimulation of alveolar cells to make milk.Release is controlled by PRF and PIH (DA)
ACTH is controlled by CRH;
Promotion of the synthesis and secretion of cortisol from adrenal cortex

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
The thyroid gland consists of cells that are arranged in follicles. In a healthy adult, there are 3 million follicles.
Slide 22
Each thyroid follicle is filled with colloid and major component of colloid is thyroglobulin.
