Endocrine System
  1. Anatomy
    1. Hyptothalamus
      1. Forms floor and walls of brain 3rd ventricle
        1. Regulates primitive functions: water balance, thermoregulation, etc.
          1. Many functions carried out via pituitary gland
        2. Pituitary Gland (Hypophysis)
          1. Suspended from hypothalamus floor by stalk (infundibulum)
            1. Anterior Pituitary
              1. "Adenohypophysis" 3/4 of pituitary
                1. Liked to hypothalamus via "hypophyseal portal system"
                  1. Network of "primary capillaries"
                    1. Group of small "portal venules"
                  2. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
                    1. Luteinizing Hormone
                      1. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
                        1. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
                          1. Prolactin
                            1. Growth Hormone
                  3. Posterior Pituitary
                    1. Composed of nervous tissue
                      1. Signals through hypothalamus-hypopheseal tract
                        1. Hormones are produced in hypothalamic neurons and move down via axoplasmic flow
                          1. Stored in nerve endings until signal triggers release
