Pituitary Gland. The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is about the size of a pea and sits in the small, bony cavity (sella turcica) at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is divided into two sections: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). 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.
In this way, it initiates the menstrual cycle. The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small gland connected to the hypothalamus by a stalk (called the infundibulum). The pituitary has 2 major lobes: the posterior and anterior.1  The posterior lobe is nerve tissue, and is really a downgrowth of the hypothalamus. Since it is a part of the brain, and made of nervous tissue, it has direct nervous influence. 2  It activates, controls and integrates the autonomic nervous system, and. 3  since it also acts as a gland, it's endocrine activity produces and secretes certain hormones and releasing factors.
