State
The hypothalamus, per Bio 2845, integrates nervous and endocrine control by synthesizing hormones that govern the pituitary, coordinating the body's hormone output from a single point.
Show
Hypothalamic releasing hormones travel through a dedicated portal system directly to the anterior pituitary, bypassing circulation.
Watch for
The hypothalamus is a brain structure that also functions as an endocrine organ — the two roles are not separate.
