Posterior Pituitary Gland Explained | ADH & Oxytocin | Physiology Made Easy

The posterior pituitary gland (neurohypophysis) plays a crucial role in human physiology by releasing antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. In this video, I explain the posterior pituitary gland in a simple, exam-oriented way, making it easy for medical, nursing, physiotherapy, and allied health students to understand. 📌 What you’ll learn in this video: Definition of the posterior pituitary gland Difference between anterior and posterior pituitary Hormones of the posterior pituitary (ADH & Oxytocin) Functions of ADH and oxytocin Regulation and mechanism of action Clinical relevance (Diabetes insipidus, SIADH) Common exam questions & key points This lesson is perfect for: MBBS / BDS / Nursing / MLS / Physiology students WAEC, NECO, university exams Quick revision and concept clarity 📚 Physiology doesn’t have to be hard — let’s simplify it together. 👍 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more medical tutorials. #PosteriorPituitary #Neurohypophysis #ADH #Oxytocin #PituitaryGland #EndocrinePhysiology #PhysiologyLecture #MedicalStudents #MBBS #AlliedHealth #NursingStudents #PhysiologyMadeEasy #MedicalEducation #ExamRevision
