MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus (hi-po-THAL-uh-mus) is in the lower central part of the brain. It links the endocrine system and nervous system. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus make chemicals that control the release of hormones secreted from the pituitary gland.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The hypothalamus is located in the brain, near the optic chiasm. It secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure.
