I. INTRODUCTION
• Neuroendocrinology
– The interaction between the central
nervous system (CNS) and endocrine
systems in the control of homeostasis
– The control of pituitary hormone secretion
by the hypothalamus
– The fundamental role of the hypothalamus
in controlling anterior pituitary function.
The Endocrine System
Pituitary Gland Anatomy
Synthesis, storage and release
of posterior pituitary hormone
Hypothalamic and pituitary
hormones
Hormones of the hypothalamic anterior pituitary pathway
A complex endocrine pathway
II. NEURAL CONTROL OF
GLANDULAR SECRETION
a. Neurosecretion
• The release of any neuronal secretory
product from a neuron
• Neurons that secrete substances directly
into the blood stream to act as hormones
• Neurons have basic ability to respons and
integrate input from multiple neurons
through specific receptors
• Three types of hypothalamic
neurosecretory cells
b. The autonomic nervous system contribution
to endocrine control
The neurons system controls or modifies or
both, the function of basic endocrine and
exocrine glands
• Anterior pituitary : releasing hormone
• Pancreas, Adrenal, Pineal salivary
(endocrine & exocrine) : regulated through
direct innervation from autonomic
neurons system

III. HYPOTHALAMICPITUITARY UNIT
a. Anatomy of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit
• Adenohypophysis
• Pars distalis
• Pars intermedia
• Pars tuberalis
• Neurohypophysis
b. The median eminence and hypophyseotropic
neuronal system

IV. CIRCUMVENTRICULAR
ORGAN
a. Median eminence
The median eminence and
neurohypophysis contain the
secretory axons that control pituitary
function
Hypothalamic
magnocellular neurons
and the posterior pituitary
gland
b. Organum vasculosum of the lamina
terminalis and the subfornical organ
• Are located at the front wall of the third
ventricle, the lamina terminalis

processes : fluid and electrolyte
balance, blood pressure, reproduction,
thermaregulation
