Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that embodies a number of small nuclei with a range of functions. One of the most significant functions of the hypothalamus is to bond the nervous system to the endocrine system through the pituitary gland (hypophysis)

Pituitary gland

The pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland situated in the center of the skull, inferior to the hypothalamus of the brain and posterior to the viaduct of the nose. It is a crucial link between the nervous and endocrine systems and discharges a lot of hormones which have an effect on growth, sexual development, metabolism and human reproduction.
