The posterior pituitary is often termed the neurohypophysis because the hormones of this part of the pituitary are released directly from the axonal endings of their source neurons into the circulation (Figure 2.1).
In this article. Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland (a small gland at the base of the brain) does not produce one or more of its hormones or else not enough of them.hen there is low or no production of all the pituitary hormones, the condition is called panhypopituitarism. This condition may affect either children or adults. The pituitary gland sends signals to other glands, for example the thyroid gland, to produce hormones, such as thyroid hormone.
