Choose an example of a hypothalamic-pituitary-hormone axis, and describe how the chosen axis regulates specific functions in the body.
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland form a complex interface between the nervous system and the endocrine system.
The brain can influence the activity of Neurosecretory cells and hormones can influence the release of other hormones.
The hypothalamus contains neurosecretory neurons which synthesize peptides and catecholamines; these are released into the circulatory system and act as hormones. Some hypothalamic hormones are released into the systemic circulation to target distant tissues.
