GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your pituitary gland has two main parts, or lobes: the anterior (front) lobe and the posterior (back) lobe. Each lobe has different functionality and different types of tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is made up of two distinct regions called the anterior lobe and posterior lobe, which are functionally active. There is an intermediate lobe in between them. The anterior lobe secretes the majority of hormones from the pituitary gland, which are under the regulation of the hormones secreted from the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pituitary controls the function of most other endocrine glands and is therefore sometimes called the master gland. In turn, the pituitary is controlled in large part by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that lies just above the pituitary.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gland is attached to a part of the brain (the hypothalamus) that controls its activity. The anterior pituitary gland is connected to the brain by short blood vessels. The posterior pituitary gland forms part of the brain and secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream under the command of the brain.
