Pituitary Gland

The pituitary gland has two lobes anterior and posterior
lobes.

The anterior pituitary gland secretes

1. Growth hormone (GH)

2. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

3. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

4. Prolactin (PRL)

5. Luteinizing hormone (LH)

6. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

Posterior pituitary releases

The posterior pituitary has a storage function. Some hormones produced by the hypothalamus are stored in the posterior pituitary and then are released from here:

1 . Oxytocin

2. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
