Pituitary gland The most structurally and functionally complex organ of the endocrine system. Through its hormones, the pituitary, also known as the hypophysis, affects every physiological process of the body. All vertebrates have a pituitary gland with a common basic structure and function. The Pituitary affects every physiological process of the body. In addition to its endocrine functions, the pituitary may play a role in the immune response. The regulation of the release of pituitary hormones is determined by precise monitoring of circulating hormone levels in the blood and by genetic and environmental factors that manifest their effect through the releasing and release-inhibiting factors of the hypothalamus. The Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain (the diencephalon) below the thalamus and above the pituitary gland, forming the walls and the lower portion of the third ventricle. It receives major neuronal inputs from the sense organs, hippocampus, thalamus, and lower brainstem structures, including the reticular formation and the spinal cord. Thus, the hypothalamus is designed and anatomically positioned to receive a diversity of messages from external and internal sources that can be transmitted by way of hypothalamic releasing factors to the pituitary gland, where they are translated into endocrine action. See also Nervous system (vertebrate). The hypothalamus receives and recognizes environmental signals; the pituitary's function is then to launch the body's organs into action. In response to threats from the external environment the pituitary gland sends a signal to the adrenal glands, informing them of the need to coordinate the body's fight or flight response. When the hypothalamus perceives an environmental threat, it engages the HPA axes by sending a signal to the pituitary gland, which is responsible for organizing the fifty trillion cells to deal with the impending threat. The hypothalamus also affects blood pressure. See also Lactation; Neurohypophysis hormone. The better-known neurotransmitters of the central nervous system include the catecholamines (dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), serotonin, acetylcholine, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), histamine, and the opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphin, neoendorphin, rimorphin, and leumorphin).

If a particular amine or neurotransmitter is present in nerve fibers leading to the median eminence, it probably will influence pituitary gland activity via the portal system.
