    The hypothalamus produces hormones that control the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland then produces additional hormones that regulate various target organs. For example, the hypothalamus produces growth hormone-releasing hormone which triggers the pituitary to secrete growth hormone, among others. This hormonal control system allows the hypothalamus to regulate diverse bodily functions like metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood.
