Role of the pituitary gland

The pituitary gland can be divided into the neuropituitary gland and the adenopituitary gland. The main function of the pituitary gland is to secrete a variety of hormones, and the role of the neuropituitary gland is to be able to store certain hormones. 1. The pituitary gland secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACT), growth hormone (GH), prolactin, gonadotropin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and nigrosomatous hormone (NH). 2. The pituitary gland can play the role of storing hormones. Oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone synthesized by the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus are transported through the nerve fibers between the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland for storage, and then released into the bloodstream when the body needs them. It is recommended that you seek medical attention if your pituitary gland is not functioning properly.
