        Posterior Pituitary
        
        Properties of Posterior Pituitary
        
        It contains non-myelinated axons which are the neurosecretory cells.It only secretes two hormones.
        
        Posterior Pituitary Hormones
        
        Oxytocin
        
        Properties of Oxytocin
        
        It plays a role in the female reproductive functions, from sexual activity to childbirth and breast feeding.
        
        POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
        
        Childbirth- stretching of uterine walls cause contractions that further stretch the walls (this continues until birthing occurs)
        
        Antidiuretic Hormone or Vasopressin (ADH)
        
        Properties of ADH
        
        constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood
        
        It works to control the amount of water your kidneys reabsorb as they filter out waste from your blood.
        
        Secretion of ADH is controlled by
        
        NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISHM

        fuels childhood growth and helps maintain tissues and organs throughout life.
        
        It stimulates

- - - - Decreases blood glucose level. Works antagonistically with glucagon to adjust blood glucose level.
  - - - Increases blood glucose level. Works antagonistically with insulin to adjust blood glucose level functions in conversation of glycogen to glucose into liver
- - - - Thymic hormone
        
        It is needed for development of T- lymphocytes.
  - - - Melatonin
        
        Function
        
        Plays a role in sleep.
        
        Production
        
        Connected to time of day, increasing when its dark and decreasing when its light.
      - Seratonin
        
        Properties of serotonin
        
        Serotonin is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being and happiness.
        
        It enables brain cells and other nervous system cells to communicate with each other.
  - - - Produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions.
    - - secreted
        
        Epinepherine and norephinepherine hormones
        
        Propertis of these hormones
        
        While epinephrine has slightly more of an effect on your heart, norepinephrine has more of an effect on your blood vessels.
