Hypothalamus neurons synthesize oxytocin and ADH. 2 Oxytocin and ADH are Inferior hypophyseal artery transported along the hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract to the posterior pituitary. 3 Oxytocin and ADH are stored in axon terminals in the posterior pituitary. 4 Oxytocin and ADH are Oxytocin ADH released into the blood when hypothalamic neurons fire.
