Feedback

The posterior pituitary releases ADH and oxytocin; other hormones are from the anterior pituitary.

Anterior pituitary hormones include prolactin, TSH, ACTH, GH, FSH, and LH.

Neurohormones from the hypothalamus regulate anterior pituitary via releasing and inhibiting hormones.

Magnocellular neurons in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei project to the posterior pituitary.

Oxytocin promotes uterine contractions and lactation (milk ejection).

Receptors are mainly in the uterus (myometrium) and mammary ductal system.

Suckling activates PRF and inhibits hypothalamic dopamine, increasing prolactin.

Small neurohormones travel via the portal vessels to the anterior pituitary.

Prolactin influences fertility and has tonic secretion in men and non-lactating women.

Oxytocin modulates social memory, trust, and social behaviors.
