The hypothalamus: Controls the autonomic nervous system, regulates homeostasis, and gives instructions to the pituitary gland through specific releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones. It also controls the functions of all the other glands, directly or indirectly, of the endocrine (hormonal) system.
The anterior pituitary; Produces, stores, and secretes hormones such as prolactin (PRL), human growth hormone (hGH), melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), folicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and lutenizing hormone (LH).
The posterior pituitary: Only stores hormones produced by the hypothalamus such as antidiruetic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin.
