GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -It communicates with your posterior lobe by tissue called the pituitary stalk. Your hypothalamus sends signals in the form of releasing hormones to tell the anterior and posterior pituitary when to release (secrete) its hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypothalamus is located in the ventral brain above the pituitary gland and below the third ventricle. The afferent pathways to the hypothalamic nuclei, the majority of which are located in the anterior hypothalamus, arise from the brainstem, thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, and olfactory areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus detects changes within the body and coordinates responses by stimulating the release of hormones from organs and glands. These pathways enable the hypothalamus to regulate a series of processes within the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Found deep inside the brain, the hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones and controls the “master gland”-the pituitary. Together, the hypothalamus and pituitary tell the other endocrine glands in your body to make the hormones that affect and protect every aspect of your health.
