Roatan doesnât have a dry season and the tropical weather of the Caribbean allows for the occasional thunderstorm. Off shore tradewinds, rain, and overcast are all part of the tropical landscape. However, no need to worry, just as fast as the clouds roll in, thats how fast the sunshine can reappear.
The Pituitary Gland. The pituitary is the âmasterâ endocrine gland (about the size of a pea) which is controlled by the hypothalamus to release a variety of hormones which modify the state of physiology and our basic motivations.he anterior pituitary secretes 9 different important hormones: 1  Growth hormone (also referred to as 'Human Growth Hormone', 'HGH' or 'GH' or somatotropin). 2  Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). 3  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). 4  Vasopressin. 5  Oxytocin. 6  Luteinizing hormone (LH).
The pituitary gland is often portrayed as the master gland of the body. Such praise is justified in the sense that the anterior and posterior pituitary secrete a battery of hormones that collectively influence all cells and affect virtually all physiologic processes.The pituitary gland may be king, but the power behind the throne is clearly the hypothalamus.As alluded to in the last section, some of the neurons within the hypothalamus-neurosecretory neurons-secrete hormones that strictly control secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary.uch praise is justified in the sense that the anterior and posterior pituitary secrete a battery of hormones that collectively influence all cells and affect virtually all physiologic processes. The pituitary gland may be king, but the power behind the throne is clearly the hypothalamus.
