Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pituitary gland has both a neurosecretory component (the posterior pituitary, which releases hormones like ADH and oxytocin directly into the blood under the control of the hypothalamus) and a component that is not under direct neural control (the anterior pituitary, which releases hormones like growth hormone and ACTH in response to releasing hormones from the hypothalamus but is not directly innervated by neurons).
