Pars nervosa
The main hormones released from the pars nervosa are oxytocin and vasopressin, actually synthesized by paraventricular and supraoptic neurons located in the hypothalamus. Hormone-containing granules are transported down the axons of these neurons and accumulate in their expanded terminals called Herring bodies. Pituicytes surround Herring bodies and assist hormone storage and release. 1000x
