For those not interested in sharing a beach with 360,000 people the weeks before and after Easter week are great times to visit Honduras. Many tourists fly into San Pedro Sula and go to the Bay Islands ( Roatan and/or Utila) then to Copan and on to Tegucigalpa.
The posterior pituitary is, in effect, a projection of the hypothalamus. It does not produce its own hormones, but only stores and releases the hormones created by the hypothalamus, whereas the anterior pituitary produces and secretes its own hormones.Posterior Pituitary. ADH and oxytocin are produced in neuronal cell bodies of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei in the hypothalamus.t does not produce its own hormones, but only stores and releases the hormones created by the hypothalamus, whereas the anterior pituitary produces and secretes its own hormones.

Hormones that the pituitary gland produces include: 1  Growth hormone: regulates growth processes. 2  Luteinizing hormone (LH): a type of sex hormone, released during puberty (and beyond). 3  Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH): A type of sex hormone. 4  Thyroxine stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Conditions affecting the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus and some of the other glands mentioned above can cause growth problems.
