The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating your body temperature, releasing hormones, and maintaining homeostasis.
The pituitary gland is a small, pea-sized endocrine gland in the brain that is commonly known as the "master gland" because it produces hormones that control other endocrine glands and several body functions including growth. The pituitary consists of the anterior and posterior pituitary.
Below are the various secretions of the pituitary gland and the effects of those secretions on their target tissues.
Anterior (front) Pituitary Gland
Growth hormone (GH) stimulates growth in muscles and bones.
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) stimulates the production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is the pigment in the skin that gives it its color and protects the skin from UV rays.
Gonadotropins (FSH and LH) stimulate the gonads (testis in males; ovaries in females) and are vital to sexual development and reproductive function.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid to produce hormones that stimulate the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol (the stress hormone)
Prolactin stimulates the breast to make breast milk.
Posterior (back) Pituitary Gland
Antidiuretic hormone, which helps the kidney regulate osmolarity, the electrolyte-water balance in the body.
Oxytocin, which also acts on the breast to stimulate lactation.
