Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the release of posterior pituitary hormones from neurons and anterior pituitary hormones from epithelial cells by providing a developmental explanation.

Introduction:

The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus by a stalk. Hypothalamus regulates physiological systems, such as thermoregulation. Pituitary gland connects the two systems, that are nervous and the endocrine systems. Two parts of the pituitary gland, anterior and posterior regions, have been developed as a part of separate developmental origins.
