| pituitary growth hormone | <protein> Hormone (191 amino acids) released by anterior pituitary that stimulates release of somatomedin, thereby causing growth. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones | Polypeptide hormones produced in the hypothalamus which inhibit the release of pituitary hormones. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormone-releasing hormones | Hormones released by one structure (e.g., the hypothalamus or the thyroid gland) that effect the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones | Hormones secreted by the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary gland and the pars intermedia, an ill-defined region between the two. Their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones, anterior | Protein, glycoprotein, or polypeptide hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones, posterior | Hormones released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary, including vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin. They are formed in the neuronal cells of the hypothalamic nuclei and stored in nerve cell endings in the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary infantilism | Short stature due to underpreformance of the pituitary gland (specifically of the anterior pituitary). (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary membrane | The mucous membrane lining the nasal cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary myxoedema | Myxoedema resulting from inadequate secretion of the thyrotropic hormone; commonly occurs in association with inadequate secretion of other anterior pituitary hormones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary stalk section | Transection of the neurovascular connection between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary-adrenal system | The interactions between the anterior pituitary and adrenal glands, in which corticotropin (acth) stimulates the adrenal cortex and adrenal cortical hormones suppress the production of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pituitary gland |
The anterior portion releases tropic hormones in response to hypothalamic releasing hormones. The posterior portion releases vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin from neuronal terminals that have their cell bodies in the hypothalamus.
