Detailed explanation-1: -Your hypothalamus makes two hormones but stores them in the posterior pituitary . When these hormones are needed, your hypothalamus sends a signal to the posterior pituitary to release them into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -For each system, the hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones (i.e., CRH, GnRH, and TRH) that act on the pituitary gland. In response to those stimuli, the pituitary gland releases ACTH, gonadotropins (i.e., LH and FSH), or TSH. ACTH activates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which induces metabolic effects.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that produces hormones that control: Body temperature. Heart rate. Hunger.
Detailed explanation-4: -The hormones produced in the hypothalamus are corticotrophin-releasing hormone, dopamine, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and thyrotrophin-releasing hormone.
