Estrogen, secreted by the ovaries, functions in the development of female secondary sex characteristics.
Prolactin is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and it stimulates milk production in the mammary gland.
Vasopressin and oxytocin are both produced by the hypothalamus and then secreted into the bloodstream through the posterior pituitary gland. Vasopressin regulates the reabsorption of water in the renal tubules while oxytocin stimulates uterine contraction and milk ejection.
