How do hormones from the hypothalamus get to the anterior pituitary gland? They are released near a capillary bed in the hypothalamus and travel a short distance to a second capillary bed in the pituitary, where they diffuse out around the cells of the anterior pituitary. They are secreted from the neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus directly onto the endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary. They are released near a capillary bed in the hypothalamus and travel around the body before arriving at a second capillary bed in the pituitary, where they diffuse out around the cells of the anterior pituitary.

1. Compare the location of the synaptic termini of the hypothalamic neurons of the anterior pituitary to those of the posterior pituitary. 2. Explain the processes by which the anterior and posterior pituitary are stimulated to release signal molecules.
