explain pituitary gland in detail
Answers
Answer:
Pituitary gland:
the body’s master gland; located at the base of the brain and attached to the hypothalamus via a stalk called the pituitary stalk;
has two distinct regions: the anterior portion of the pituitary gland is regulated by releasing or release-inhibiting hormones produced by the hypothalamus,
and the posterior pituitary receives signals via neurosecretory cells to release hormones produced by the hypothalamus.
Hormones produced (or secreted) by the gland include:
Anterior pituitary:
the following hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary and released in response to hormone signals from the hypothalamus.
Growth hormone:
stimulates growth factors
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH):
simulates adrenal glands to secrete glucocorticoids such as cortisol
thyroid-stimulating hormone: stimulates thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH):
stimulates production of gametes and sex steroid hormones.
Prolactin:
stimulates mammary gland growth and milk production.
Posterior pituitary:
the following hormones are produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary.
