pituitary gland: A relatively small endocrine gland about the size of a pea This gland is located underneath the brain and releases a number of essential hormones, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
pituitary gland: the master gland of the endocrine system; located at the base of the brain

pituitary gland: The pituitary gland (a k a hypophysis) is the master endocrine gland -- though it is about the size of a pea -- located beneath the hypothalamus in a bony cavity at the base of the skull Its secretes many hormones, including thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), gonadotropins, growth hormone, prolactin, lipotropin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and oxytocin

pituitary gland: The pituitary gland or the pituitary is a gland that is attached to the base of the brain. It produces hormones which affect growth, sexual development, and other functions of the body. A small oval endocrine gland attached to the base of the vertebrate brain and consisting of an anterior and a posterior lobe, the secretions of which control the other endocrine glands and influence growth, metabolism, and maturation. Also called hypophysis, pituitary body. or hypophysis Endocrine gland lying on the underside of the brain. It plays a major part in regulating the endocrine system. Its anterior lobe secretes most of the pituitary hormones, which stimulate growth (see growth hormone); egg and sperm development; milk secretion; release of other hormones by the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and reproductive system; and pigment production. The posterior lobe stores and releases hormones from the hypothalamus that control pituitary function, uterine contraction and milk release, and blood pressure and fluid balance
pituitary gland: Small gland in the brain which secretes substances necessary for basic life processes, such as growth
pituitary gland: Gland located at the base of the brain which secretes hormones involved in growth, sexual function, and control of other endocrine glands
pituitary gland: A master control endocrine gland at the base of the brain The pituitary gland is controlled in turn by the hypothalamus
pituitary gland: The "master gland," the major component of the endocrine system, which secretes hormones that control growth
anterior pituitary: (Anatomi) The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis, from Greek adeno, "gland"; hypo, "under"; physis, "growth"; hence, glandular undergrowth) comprises the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system. Unlike the posterior lobe, the anterior lobe is genuinely glandular, hence the root adeno in its name
anterior pituitary: the anterior lobe of the pituitary body; primarily glandular in nature
posterior pituitary: the posterior lobe of the pituitary body; primarily glandular in nature
