ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland belong to the endocrine system. the two belong to the hypothalamo-pituitary-end organ axis. and this axis contains several loops where one action from a location can affect the other's action. think of a feedback mechanism. It may appear that the hypothalamus is the prime mover of the axis. But as i said, there are loops in the said axis. Take for example the thyroid gland being the end organ of that loop. The hypothalamus can order the pituitary to release a thyroid gland stimulant (the thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH) by synthesizing and then releasing the thyroid hormone releasing hormone (THRH). This leads to increased activity of the thyroid gland (eg increased metabolism, weight loss, palpitations, arrhythmia etc). But then this increased thyroid gland activity brings back news to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. the two then decreased their activity so that the thyroid gland in effect can lower its activity. Soon, there will be balance in the system by using this constant feedback loop.
As you can see, the axis's feedback loop causes normalization of the body's activities. Homeostasis.

In the USA, the first two spellings would be correct. In the UK, I'm not sure.
