| Description: The anterior pituitary makes hormones and secretes them in response to hormones from the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary makes hormones and secretes them in response to hormones from the hypothalamus. 0 Cell bodies of secretory neurons in hypothalamus synthesize inhibitors or releasers that are secreted into the stalk that connects to the pituitary. 0 When encouraged by a releaser, anterior pituitary cells secrete a hormone that enters blood vessels that lead into the general circulation. 9 The inhibitors or releasers picked up by capillaries in the stalk get carried in blood to the anterior pituitary. 9 The inhibitors or releasers diffuse out of capillaries in the anterior pituitary and bind to their target cells.
