1. The hypothalamo-hypophyseal systems. The pituitary gland

5. Regulation of endocrine organs
Közp. idegr.
Neurosecretion: secreration of neruon gets into the bloodstream
Negative feedback: hormons of target organ inhibit the adenohypophysis
Releasing hormon (pl. CRF)
Adenohypophysis sejt (pl. corticotrop)
Glandotrop hormon (pl. ACTH)

7. Pituitary gland: parts
- Median eminence
