These hypothalamic releasing hormones control and regulate the secretion of pituitary hormones. Functions of the hypothalamus can be listed as: 1  controls the release of 8 major hormones by the pituitary gland. 2  controls body temperature. 3  control of food and water intake, hunger and thirst. 4  control of sexual behavior and reproduction.
The hypothalamus has a central neuroendocrine function, most notably by its control of the anterior pituitary, which in turn regulates various endocrine glands and organs. Releasing hormones (also called releasing factors) are produced in hypothalamic nuclei then transported along axons to either the median eminence or the posterior pituitary, where they are stored and released as needed.
