What are two benefits of having a portal system connect the median eminence of the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary? simple answer
If the pituitary is so important, and if Eric is not getting replacements of hormones the pituitary makes (except for
adh), why isn’t he dead? To answer this question, think through the cascade of events from hypothalamus to effect
Is it because the hypotalamus secretes it to the blood stream directly? May I have an explanation? I'm trying to understand so that I can answer this question properly
The hypothalamic-pituitary portal is categorized as the "local bloodstream." How does this compare to the "general bloodstream" of the posterior pituitary?
a) The local bloodstream connects the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary whereas the general bloodstream connects the pituitary and the rest of the body.
b) The local bloodstream connects the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary whereas the general bloodstream connects the pituitary and the rest of the body.
c) There is no distinction between the two.
