Pituitary gland is a endocrine gland and is of pea shape. It is referred to as the body's 'master gland' because it controls the activity of most other hormone-secreting glands.

The pituitary gland is a small gland that sits in the sella turcica a bony hollow in the base of the skull.

The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation).

The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

The posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that is functionally connected to the hypothalamus by the median eminence via a small tube.

Anterior pituitary :

Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

Luteinising hormone (LH)

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Prolactin (PRL)

Growth hormone (GH)

Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)

Posterior pituitary :

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)

Oxytocin
