GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main role of the posterior pituitary is to store and releases two hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin). Both of the lobes of your pituitary gland are connected to your hypothalamus (a part of your brain) through a stalk that contains blood vessels and nerve cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin): This hormone regulates the water balance and sodium levels in your body. Oxytocin: Your hypothalamus makes oxytocin, and your pituitary gland stores and releases it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is synthesized in the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus, while oxytocin is synthesized in the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurohypophysis (pars nervosa) also known as posterior pituitary, stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin, which are actually synthesised by the hypothalamus and are transported axonally to neurohypophysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland. Certain types of tumors may release high amounts of antidiuretic hormone, which can cause low levels of sodium in the blood and the body to retain water.
