Answer:

Hormones secreted by the hypothalamus regulate the pituitary gland

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothalamus is the region of the brain (diencephalon) of relatively small vertebrates, located on the thalamus, whose function is to maintain homeostasis, that is, the balance of internal bodily functions in adjustment to the environment, mainly through coordination between the nervous system. and the endocrine system. The hypothalamus also produces two hormones, oxytocin (OCT) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that are transported to the neuro pituitary where they are stored, and release hormones that regulate adenoipophysis activity and regulate the pituitary gland.
