  1. Identify the six hormones produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, their target cells, their principal actions, and their regulation by the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus–pituitary complex can be thought of as the “command center” of the endocrine system.

  2. The hypothalamus produces separate hormones that stimulate or inhibit hormone production in the anterior pituitary. Hormones from the hypothalamus reach the anterior pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system. The anterior pituitary produces seven hormones.

  4. Nov 3, 2023 · The pituitary gland is made of two active lobes; anterior and posterior.

  6. Mar 20, 2024 · This network, called the hypophyseal portal system, allows hypothalamic hormones to be transported to the anterior pituitary without first entering the systemic circulation. The system originates from the superior hypophyseal artery, which branches off the carotid arteries and transports blood to the hypothalamus.
