The document summarizes key concepts about the regulation of reproduction through hormones and target tissues. It defines hormones and describes how they interact with target tissues. The hypothalamus controls reproduction by secreting hormones that signal the pituitary gland. The pituitary then secretes hormones like FSH, LH, and prolactin that target the gonads and other reproductive organs. These secondary hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that regulate sexual development and function. The document outlines the hormones secreted at each level of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and their roles in the male and female reproductive cycles.
Pituitary gland one of the most important glands for health and normal biological functions inside the body.
This is a very influential gland releases hormones that affect your growth as well as influencing the activities of other glands. For this reason the pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland.Pituitary secretion is controlled by either hormonal or nervous signals from hypothalamus.
Division in Two Lobes
1-Anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis)
- cells secrete peptide/protein hormones
2-Posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis)
- is an extension of the hypothalamus
- is composed largely of the axons of the hypothalamic neurons
This is our powerpoint presentation about the Hypothalamus, its function, what hormones it secretes and its main role in our body. This also has info about the Pituitary Gland, the hormones it releases and its function in our body.

Action of pituitary gland over growth harmone.Rajatmishra137
The pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it controls several other hormone glands in your body, including the thyroid and adrenals, the ovaries and testicles. ● It secretes hormones from both the front part (anterior) and the back part (posterior) of the gland. Hormones are chemicals that carry messages from one cell to another through your bloodstream.
Endocrine System and its glands in briefরেজা তানজিল
The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system comprising feedback loops of the hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs. In humans, the major endocrine glands are the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems. The study of the endocrine system and its disorders is known as endocrinology. Endocrinology is a branch of internal medicine.[1]
A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems have secondary endocrine functions, including bone, kidneys, liver, heart and gonads. For example, the kidney secretes the endocrine hormone erythropoietin. Hormones can be amino acid complexes, steroids, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, or prostaglandins.[1]
The endocrine system can be contrasted to both exocrine glands, which secrete hormones to the outside of the body, and paracrine signalling between cells over a relatively short distance. Endocrine glands have no ducts, are vascular, and commonly have intracellular vacuoles or granules that store their hormones. In contrast, exocrine glands, such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and glands within the gastrointestinal tract, tend to be much less vascular and have ducts or a hollow lumen.
KEY CONCEPTS
45.1 Hormones and other signaling molecules bind to target
receptors, triggering specific response pathways
45.2 Feedback regulation and coordination with the nervous system are common in endocrine signaling
45.3 Endocrine glands respond to diverse stimuli in regulating homeostasis, development,
and behavior

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

chemical substances synthesized
secreted by ductless endocrine

and inhibits, stimulate or regulate
the functional activity of target
organs or tissues.”

Pineal Gland (Epiphysis) – Neuroepithelial evagination from roof of
third ventricle under posterior end of corpus callosum.
Amphibians = Pineal is a Photoreceptor
Mammals = It is an endocrine gland
(Long days & Short days)
13. Functional Anatomy of Hypothalamus and Pituitary
• Hypothalamus. Neural control center for
Reproductive hormones . It Occupies very small
portion of the brain. Consists of region of third
ventricle, extending from the optic chiasma to
mammillary body.
–Neural connections (Hypo - Post pit)
–Vascular connections (Hypo - Ant pit) 13
14. Hypoth. Hypoph. Port. System
• Arterial blood enter AP via Superior and inferior
hypophseal artery. The superior hypo artery forms a
capillary loops (Primary Portal Plexus) at the ME
and Pars Nervosa. Blood from these caps then
enter into veins which then reenter into another loop
(Secondary Portal Plexus) of caps at the anterior
pituitary level. From here the blood is sent back to
the hypothalmus (retrograde fllow) and some go to
the venous system. Therefore, in this system
blood begins and ends in caps without going into
the heart. This type of system is called as short loop
feedback. 14
17. Mechanism of Action of Hormones
Steroid Hormone
eg., P4 - LH
Protein Hormone
eg., FSH – E2
•Receptors for protein hormone present on the
cell surface.
•Hormone receptor binding
•Adenylate cyclase activation
•Protein kinase activation
•Synthesis of new product
• no receptors on cell surface
•Steroid transport via diffusion into cell
membrane and cytoplasm
•Binding of steroid to nuclear
receptors.
•Messenger RNA synthesis and protein
synthesis
17
20. Modes of Intercellular
Communication
• Neural
Neurotransmitters are released at synaptic junctions
• Endocrine
Hormone transported through blood circulation
• Paracrine
Products of cells diffuse through extra cellular fluids
and effect the neighboring cells
• Autocrine
Cells secrete chemical messengers that binds to the
receptors on the same cells that secrete them 20
22. Regulation of Hormone Secretion
Negative Feedback (Inhibitory) Suppression of
GnRH neurons
• Involves two or more glands
• A change in opposite direction of initial change
• Primary mechanism maintaining homeostasis
• eg., FSH and Estradiol
Positive Feedback (Stimulatory) Stimualtion of
GnRH neurons
• Change in same direction of initial change
• Not used to maintain homeostasis
• Important in certain physiological circumstances eg.,
Childbirth, "fight or flight" responses, Ovulation, etc. 22
