The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Glands. The hypothalamus makes up the lower region of the diencephalon and lies just above the brain stem. The pituitary gland (hypophysis) is attached to the bottom of the hypothalamus by a slender stalk called the infundibulum. The pituitary gland consists of two major regions: the anterior pituitary gland (anterior lobe or adenohypophysis) and the posterior pituitary gland (posterior lobe or neurohypophysis).
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse of this would be the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator.
Motor is commonly thought to only be electric, which of course, converts electric energy to mechanical energy. But, that is only an electric motor. Motor; a machine, especially one powered by electricity (e.g. electric motor) or internal combustion (e.g. engine), that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts. An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work (more simply, a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion).
