Oxytocin is transported down axons into the posterior pituitary where they are stored prior to release.  Release is controlled by neural activity in the nerve cells; '''Neurosecretion'''. Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscle of the [[Lactation - The Mammary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mammary gland]] and [[Uterus - Anatomy & Physiology|uterus.]]
