Hypothalamus And Pituitary - Episode 35

This episode is a deep dive into the hypothalamus and the pituitary. There are 70+ hormones in the body and these two small structures are responsible for 14 of them. With the hypophyseal portal system and the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract, we can visualize the intricate connection between these two. The pituitary is known as the "master gland," but as we can see, it does nothing unless the hypothalamus tells it to. We also have a little fun discussing when and how hormones were discovered.
