In anatomy terms the difference between adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis

is that adenohypophysis is the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, producing and secreting several peptide hormones that regulate many physiological processes including stress, growth, and reproduction while neurohypophysis is the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, responsible for the release of oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin.
