30
Does not synthesize hormones Stores and releases hormones made by the hypothalamus
Posterior Pituitary Gland
31
hormones made by the hypothalamus are transported along the ________
hypothalamohypophyseal tract
32
hormones in Posterior pituitary
Oxytocin (OT) Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
33
During and after delivery of baby affects uterus and breasts Enhances smooth muscle contraction in wall of uterus Stimulates milk ejection from mammary glands
Oxytocin (OT)
34
Decreases urine production by causing the kideys to return more water to the blood
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
35
decreases water lost through sweating and constriction of arterioles which increases blood pressure
vasopressin
