what does pancreas do if blood sugar is too low?
releases glucagon
what does pancreas do if blood sugar is too high?
releases insulin
what does liver do after pancreas release glucagon?
breaks down stored glycogen and release glucose into blood

Nerve cells produce chemical signals
HYPOTHALAMUS
Nerve cells produce chemical signals releases?
hormones
inhibitory hormones
Controlled by negative feedback from endocrine system
HYPOTHALAMUS
network of blood vessels connecting blood supply of the
hypothalamus and blood supply of anterior pituitary gland
PORTAL CIRCULATION
PORTAL CIRCULATION
Hypothalamus – superior hypophyseal arteries – primary
plexus – hypophyseal portal veins – secondary plexus –
pituitary gland
branches of internal
carotid and posterior communicating arteries
superior hypophyseal arteries
capillary network formed by the superior
hypophyseal arteries
primary plexus
specialized neurons that secrete
releasing and inhibiting hormones in the primary plexus
neurosecretory cells
capillary network formed by
hypophyseal portal veins
secondary plexus
direct route that permit
hypothalamic hormones to act quickly on pituitary gland
before hormones diluted or destroyed in the systemic
circulation
secondary plexus
Size of a walnut attached at the inferior surface of the
hypothalamus
PITUITARY GLANDS
other term for pituitary glands
Hypophysis
