MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your posterior pituitary interacts directly with your hypothalamus since your hypothalamus creates oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin) and sends signals to your posterior pituitary about when to store and release the hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hormones produced by the posterior pituitary gland include vasopressin and oxytocin. Vasopressin is also referred to as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and acts on the kidney to conserve water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), somatostatin, and dopamine are released from the hypothalamus into the blood and travel to the anterior pituitary.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water the kidneys reabsorb while they are filtering wastes out of the blood.
