Answer: it is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release

Endocrine glands are glands that secrete products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The pituitary gland  is one of the  major glands of the endocrine system but the posterior lobe itself serves  only a storage area of hormone   and do not do the function of a true endocrine gland which is to secrete hormones
