Neurohypophysis i.e., posterior pituitary (Pars nervosa) stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin (Also called ADH i.e., antidiuretic hormone) which are actually synthesised by hypothalamus and are transported axonally to neurohypophysis. The pars distalis (anterior pituitary) produces follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
