The mysterious connection between brain and naughty bits

If there's one single image from all of the old "Now you are a woman! Smile, damn it!" pamphlets, it's this one. Purporting to somehow explain the link between pituitary activity and sexual development, all it really does is confuse the issue. Yes, the pituitary gland affects the development of sexual organs, but that's not really depicted here, is it? All they really show you is that the pituitary gland and your ovaries are waaaaay far apart, and that no girl with any decency would allow her face to be shown in an image containing ovaries. We surmise that there must be a connection, because they are both highlighted in the image, and nothing else is. But what is it? How do they communicate? How do my ovaries know what I'm thinking? It must be magic!

And would it be too much trouble to depict a girl's equipment without making it look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
