Neurohormone Review Articles
Neurohormone is one of a group of compounds produced by nervous, rather than endocrine, specialized
cells that are structurally typical of the scheme. The neurohormones move along extensions of the nerve
cells and are released into the bloodstream in specific regions called neurohemal organs. Neurohormones therefore constitute a connection between sensory stimuli and chemical reactions. The releasing
hormones hypothalamus are neurohypophysial
hormones in specialized hypothalamic
neurons that extend to the median eminence and the posterior pituitary. The adrenal medulla in chromaffin
cells generates adrenomedular hormones,
cells that are very structurally similar to post-synaptic sympathetic
neurons but are not neurons, they are derivatives of neural crests. Neurosecretory
cells release neurohormone.
