Pituitary and hypothalamic physiology.
Professor P. M. Daniel has described in the first paper the nervous pathways connecting the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary and how the posterior pituitary merely stores the hormones vasopressin, oxytocin (which has no clearly defined function in man), and neurophysin, the large molecule or molecules which bind the other hormones. For many years the anterior pituitary was thought to be ...
متن کاملPhysiology of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Thyroidal System
The activity of the thyroid gland is predominantly regulated by the concentration of the pituitary glycoprotein hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). In the absence of pituitary or of thyrotroph function hypothyroidism ensues. Thus, regulation of thyroid function in normal individuals is to a large extent determined by the factors which regulate the synthesis and secretion of TSH. Those f...
متن کاملHypothalamic and pituitary injury.
The hypothalamic-pituitary axis is recognized to an increasing extent as a physiological unit which influences and is influenced by endocrine and autonomic function. Anatomically, however, a clear distinction is to be drawn, with regard to both cellular and vascular anatomy, betweenthe neural (hypothalamus and neurohypophysis) and the glandular epithelial (pars distalis) components of the axis....
متن کاملPituitary anatomy and physiology.
The pituitary has been called the master gland of the body because of its central role in governing homeostasis, maintaining the reproductive cycle, and directing the activity of other glands. Housed in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone at the base of the skull, it has important anatomic relations with the hypothalamus, visual pathways, cavernous sinus, carotid artery, and cranial nerves. ...
