Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland is directly connected to the hypothalamus through nerve fibers. The hypothalamus secretes hormones that are transported through these fibers to the posterior pituitary for storage and release into the bloodstream. The adrenal gland, thyroid gland, and parathyroid gland do not have a direct anatomical connection to the hypothalamus.
