No, not always.
Axons can go to both the posterior and anterior pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary gland receives axons containing hormones produced in the hypothalamus, such as vasopressin and oxytocin. These hormones are released directly into the bloodstream from the axon endings in the posterior pituitary.
On the other hand, blood vessels primarily supply the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus releases different hormones into the bloodstream, which then travel through blood vessels to the anterior pituitary gland. The hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary regulate various functions in the body.
does always Axons go to posterior, blood vessels go to anterior pituitary gland
