The hormones are secreted from different parts of the pituitary gland. The hormones secreted from the anterior pituitary are under the influence of regulating factors secreted by the hypothalamus. The hypothalamic regulating factors pass down to the anterior pituitary by way of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system. The anterior pituitary receives its signals from the parvocellular neurons .
The hormones released by the posterior pituitar are actually produced by the hypothalamic nuclei . By way of the axon terminals these hormones are brought to the posterior pituitary from which they are released to the outside. Posterior pituitary receives its signals from magnocellular neurons.

The hormones are secreted from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY and from the POSTERIOR PITUITARY which regulates the growth and maintenance of the whole body.
