the hypothalamus via a stalk called the infundibulum. It has two major lobes‚ one neural and one glandular. Posterior Lobe (Neurohypophysis) – composed of nervous tissue; releases neurohormones that it receives ready-made from the hypothalamus; oxytocin and anti-diuretic hormone (ADH); released on demand in response to nerve impulses from hypothalamic neurons. Anterior Lobe (Adenohypophysis) – composed of glandular tissue; manufactures and releases its own hormones as a result of stimulation by
