Other hormones are known to be released from the posterior pituitary.

However, only in mammals does the posterior pituitary have a compact shape.

Well, it would seem that one can go a step beyond the posterior pituitary to the hypothalamus.

Most of it is stored in the posterior pituitary to be released into the bloodstream.

The median eminence is only occasionally included as part of the posterior pituitary.

The posterior pituitary is usually not affected due to its direct arterial supply.

During increased osmolality, it is released from the posterior pituitary.

Oxytocin is also produced in the posterior pituitary gland.

In adult humans, it is just a thin layer of cells between the anterior and posterior pituitary.

The pair attempted to isolate the active compounds within the posterior pituitary gland.

This contrasts with the posterior pituitary, which originates from neuroectoderm.

Classification of the posterior pituitary varies, but most sources include the two regions below:

The posterior pituitary stores and secretes the following important endocrine hormones:

These carry the peptide directly to the posterior pituitary gland, where it is stored until released into the blood.

A pituicyte is a glial cell of the posterior pituitary.

Stade filled his hypodermic with posterior pituitary fluid and gave our discovery a shot of that.

Hormones known classically as posterior pituitary hormones are synthesized by the hypothalamus.

Herring bodies or neurosecretory bodies are structures found in the posterior pituitary.

The posterior pituitary releases oxytocin due to increased firing in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract.

Posterior pituitary.

When the posterior pituitary is intact, salt loss exceeds water loss, and the plasma Na+ falls.

It is then released into the blood from the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) of the pituitary gland.

The pituitary gland was very small and there were few remnants of both the anterior and the posterior pituitary.

It is also due to damage of the hypothalamus, pituitary stalk, posterior pituitary, and can arise from head trauma.

The pituitary gland consists of two parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary.

It is then released into the blood from the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) of the pituitary gland.

Neurophysin and its hormone become a complex that is considered a single protein and stored in the neurohypophysis.

The neurohypophysis stores and releases two hypothalamic hormones:

Some of these sites are the sites of neurosecretion - the neurohypophysis and the median eminence.

Posterior pituitary lobe (neurohypophysis)

The inferior hypophysial artery is an artery supplying the neurohypophysis of the pituitary gland.

The pituitary is subdivided into two principal lobes, anterior and posterior, and is also known as the neurohypophysis.

The posterior lobe (the neural lobe or neurohypophysis) of the pituitary gland is not, despite its name, a true gland.

The posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis) comprises the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system.

Another study found abnormalities in the brain, such a corpus callosum dysgenesis, an under developed anterior pituitary and a brain stalk with an ectopic neurohypophysis.

Secretin is found in the magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus and along the neurohypophysial tract to neurohypophysis.

It is based upon the gross anatomical separation of the posterior and anterior pituitary along the cystic remnants of Rathke's pouch, causing the pars intermedia to remain attached to the neurohypophysis.

The secretory organs include the subcommissural organ (SCO), the posterior pituitary (also known as the neurohypophysis), the pineal gland, the median eminence and the intermediate lobe of the pituitary.

Oxytocin and vasopressin/anti-diuretic hormone, the two peptide hormones of the posterior pituitary gland (the neurohypophysis), are secreted from the nerve endings of magnocellular neurosecretory neurons into the systemic circulation.
