- Because the hormones produced by the pituitary gland influence so many diverse functions in the body, it is known as the "master gland."
- It detects the body's requirements and sends messages to various organs and glands throughout the body in order to regulate their function and maintain a healthy environment.
- It secretes a number of hormones into the circulation that operate as messengers, transmitting information from the pituitary gland to distant cells and controlling their activity.
- The pituitary gland, for example, releases prolactin, which stimulates milk production in the breasts.
- The pituitary gland also secretes hormones that affect the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, ovaries, and testes, all of which generate hormones in turn.
- The pituitary gland regulates metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, blood pressure, and many other critical bodily activities and processes through the secretion of hormones.
