Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated by releasing hormones produced in the hypothalamus. These releasing hormones travel to the anterior pituitary gland through a vasculature connection, and stimulate or inhibit the secretion of specific hormones. Enzymes or the posterior pituitary gland do not regulate the secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.
