Question
How are the hypothalamic hormones transported to the target organs?

Answer

  1. The hypothalamic hormones are secreted by the nuclei and transported through their axons and released at their axon terminals or nerve endings.
  2. The hormones are collected by hypophyseal portal vein and transported to anterior pituitary.
  3. The posterior pituitary hormones pass through the axons that reach the posterior pituitary and remain stored in the axon terminals, till they are stimulated for release.
