The sacral region is an area that appears only on the posterior part of the body. It is located at the base of the spine, below the lumbar region and above the coccyx.
The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones. It produces antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.
No, the posterior pituitary gland does not synthesize oxytocin. Instead, it stores and releases oxytocin, which is produced in the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary gland for storage and eventual release in response to certain stimuli.
No, the posterior pituitary gland does not respond to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The posterior pituitary mainly secretes oxytocin and vasopressin, which are produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary before being released into the bloodstream. GnRH primarily acts on the anterior pituitary gland to regulate the release of gonadotropins like luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
The only hormone stored by the gland that produces it is oxytocin, which is produced and stored in the posterior pituitary gland.
