Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland

Description
The posterior pituitary gland does not synthesize any hormones, but stores and releases from axon terminals two hormones produced by the neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus: oxytocin (OT) and anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).
Axons from the neurosecretory cells form the hypothalamohypophyseal tract.
