Answers
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)
