Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus synthesizes and release hormones that regulate the secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. The mechanism of transportation from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland is through the hypophyseal portal system which consists of a network of blood vessels that connect the two structures. The hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus are released into this portal system and transported directly to the anterior pituitary gland without entering the general circulatory system. This allows for more efficient and precise control of hormone secretion. The hepatic portal system is a different portal system that connects the digestive organs to the liver. Feedback loop is a general term that describes the process by which a system regulates itself in response to feedback.
