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.

CRH is produced in the hypothalamus of the brain and causes the pituitary gland to produce another hormone called ACTH. The hormone ACTH then acts on the adrenal glands causing them to produce the hormone cortisol. Unfortunately, CRH levels are unable to be measured in simple blood samples. However, substances like cortisol and leptin can provide information as to the activity of the hypothalamus. The hormone leptin is associated with the regulation of body weight and the normal maintenance of bodily functions (homeostasis). It is found in fat cell (adipocyes) and communicates the nutritional status of the body to the brain (central nervous system).
