ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone: synthesis and regulation of secrtion
Pulsitile secretion of GnRH and LH

Feedback control of thyroid function
Posterior pituitary hormones: ADH (AVP) and Oxytocin (really hypothalamic hormones)
Hypothalamus and posterior pituitary
Structures of ADH and oxytocin
Oxytocin: stimulates myoepithelial contractions
Oxytocin: milk ejection from lactating mammary gland
Oxytocin: uterine contractions
Oxytocin secretion is stimulated by nursing
ADH: conserve body water and regulate tonicity of body fluids
