Compare and contrast the posterior and anterior pituitary?

the pituitary gland is anatomically divided into an adenohypophysis and a neurohypophysis.
adenohypophysis consists of two regions , pars distalis and pars intermedia.
anterior pituitary                                                                                          posterior pituitary
1. part of adenohypophysis.                                                                 .  part of neurohypophysis.
2. also called pars distalis.                                                                  . called pars nervosa.
3.hormones they secrete : growth hormones(GH),                                 .  oxytocin & vasopressin.
   prolactin(PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),
   adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH), luteinzing hormone
   (LH), follicle stimulating hormone(FSH).                                            
4. these hormones originate in the hypothalamic neurons & pass thru      . under the direct neural
    axons from their nerve endings reaching the pituitary thru a portal          regulation of hypo-
    circulatory system & regulate its function.                                            thalamus. synthesised
                                                                                                            by hypothalamus & relea
                                                                                                            sed axonally

antomically pituitary gland has anterior part or adenohypophysis and posterior or neurohypophysis. 1.The adenohypophysis has got specialised cells or endocrine cell whereas neurohypophysis do not have any gland in it but has neural connection with hypothalamus.
2. The ant. pituitary synthesise the hormones under the control of hypothalamus, whereas post. pituitary do not synthesise any hormones but recieves the terminal knob from hormone synthesising nuclei in hypothalamus.
3. The ant. pituitary have chromophobe and chromophilic cells, whereas post. have only neural tissues along with pituicytes.
 4. The hormones from ant. are thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, leutenizing hormone,adenocorticotropic hormone, growth hormone,prolactin and melanocyte stimullating hormone. The hormones of post pituitary comes fron two nuclei in hypothalamus through terminal knob ending in post pituitary viz. oxytocin and vassopressin.
       the hormones synthesis and production are regulated by hypothalamic hormones.
