The hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary via releasing hormones. These hormones are released into the hypophyseal portal system, which directly connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. The releasing hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete its own hormones, which then act on various target tissues throughout the body.
