INTRODUCTION: pituitary gland?
In vertebrate anatomy, the pituitary gland, or
hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the
size of a pea and weighing 0.5 grams (0.018
oz) in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom
of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain.
The pituitary gland is a tiny organ, the size of a
pea, found at the base of the brain. As the
“master gland” of the body, it produces many
hormones that travel throughout the body,
directing certain processes or stimulating other
glands to produce other hormones.

Pituitary gland is a gland that is attached to the
base of the brain, produces hormones which
affect growth, sexual development and other
functions of the body.

pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, in humans, is a pea-sized pituitary gland?
gland that sits in a protective bony enclosure
called the sella turcica. It is located behind
nose, near the underside of brain. It is attached
to the hypothalamus by a sticklike structure.
The hypothalamus is a small area of brain.

It is very important in controlling the balance
of bodily functions and regulating temperature.
It controls the release of hormones from
pituitary gland.
It is composed of three lobes:
Anterior,
Intermediate
Posterior
ANTERIOR LOBE:
The anterior lobe of pituitary gland is made of
several different types of cells that produce and
release different types of hormones, including:
Growth hormone.
Thyroid stimulating hormone.
Adreno-corticotropic hormone.
Follicle stimulating hormone.
Luteinizing hormone
Prolactin hormone.
INTERMEDIATE:
The intermediate is avascular and almost
absent in human beings. The intermediate lobe
is present in many lower animal species, in
particular in rodents, mice and rats that have
been used extensively to study pituitary
development and function.
POSTERIOR LOBE:
The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland also

secretes hormones. These hormones are
produced in hypothalamus and stored in the
posterior lobe until they are released.
Hormones stored in the posterior pituitary:
Vasopressin
Oxytocin

1. Growth hormone regulates growth and
physical development. It can stimulate
growth in almost all tissues. Its primary
targets are bones and muscles.
2. TSH activates thyroid to release thyroid
hormones.
3. ACTH hormones stimulates adrenal
glands to produce cortisol and other
hormones.
4. FSH is involved in estrogen secretion.
5. Luteinizing hormone is involved in the
production of estrogen in women and
testosterone in men.
6. Prolactin helps women who are
breastfeeding produce milk.
7. Vasopressin helps our body conserve
water and prevent dehydration.
8. Oxytocin stimulates the relaease of
