PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your hypothalamus also tells your pituitary gland to produce and release hormones that affect other areas of your body. Your pituitary gland is connected to your hypothalamus through a stalk of blood vessels and nerves (the pituitary stalk).

Detailed explanation-2: -The pituitary gland is located inferior to the hypothalamus and is connected to the hypothalamus by a stalk. Hormonal secretion by the anterior pituitary is controlled by hypothalamic-releasing hormones that reach their target endocrine tissues in the anterior pituitary via the pituitary stalk.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland, which then makes hormones that control other glands and many of the body’s functions, including growth and fertility.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hypothalamus has a central neuroendocrine function, most notably by its control of the anterior pituitary, which in turn regulates various endocrine glands and organs.
