Sections 15.3, 15.4 The hypothalamus and pituitary gland interact to integrate many body activities. ADH and oxytocin from the hypothalamus are stored in and released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary. ADH influences fluid volume. Oxytocin affects reproductive func- tions such as lactation and labor. Additional hypothalamic hormones are releasers or inhibitors of hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Of the six hormones produced in the anterior lobe, two (prolactin and growth hormone) have widespread effects on body cells. Four (ACTH, TSH, FSH, and LH) act on specific endocrine glands. Hormones are released by a wide variety of organs, tissues, and cells. They typically regulate events that occur over an extended period, such as bodily growth.
