Posterior lobe (neural tissue) of the pituitary gland. Receives, stores and releases hormones from the hypothalamus. Neurohypophysis
Anterior lobe of pit. gland, made up of glandular tissue, synthesizes and secretes a number of hormones. Adenohypophysis
A downward growth of the hypothalmic neural tissue. Posterior lobe
Lobe of the pit. gland that is an outpocketing of the oral mucosa. Anterior lobe
The hormones of the adenohypophysis that regulate the activity of other endocrine glands. GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, and PRL
Is enzymatically split into ACTH, opiates,and MSH. POMC--pro-opiomelanocortin
