secretion[edit]

I think that the page needs to be modified to say that both the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus release both hormones, with the supraoptic doing so in higher quantity. Here's a reference to what I'm talking about: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17932139?ordinalpos=4&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.172.94.68 (talk) 18:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More[edit]

More information on this is needed. Such as disorders.

Agreed. I've begun by mentioning SIADH and central diabetes insipidus. Feel free to augment the "role in disease" section with others. --David Iberri (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neurohypophysis[edit]

Neurohypophysis and posterior pituitary are not synonymous. The neurohypophysis includes the posterior pituitary as well as the infundibulum. Chrisjustinparr (talk) 18:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pars nervosa[edit]

The pars nervosa is also a circumventricular organ. --MBVECO

Image[edit]

Neither of these images present a clear view of the important structures in the posterior pituitary. I don't know any public pictures that show the axon projections, but this would make the anatomy section much easier to understand. PVSpud (talk) 03:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Structure of Article[edit]

The anterior pituitary article, which is mentioned in this one is rated C class. I think this article should be structured similar to that one. The other one has development, role in the endocrine system and behavioral effects which I think would be important information to add to the article Aahoward13 (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for the clinical significance section, I think the effects of Oxytocin should be mentioned as well like issues with lactation/ problems with urinary/and mother bonding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aahoward13 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
