A

B

C
Anterior pituitary gland
D
Posterior pituitary gland
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are both produced in the hypothalamus, a region of the brain.
Recognize that these hormones are not released directly from the hypothalamus into the bloodstream.
Learn that after production, oxytocin and ADH are transported down nerve fibers to the posterior pituitary gland.
The posterior pituitary gland acts as a storage site for these hormones until they are needed by the body.
When the body requires these hormones, the posterior pituitary gland releases them into the bloodstream to exert their effects.
