(Tıp) pituitary gland

An endocrine gland, about the size of a pea, that sits in a small, bony cavity at the base of the brain whose secretions control the other endocrine glands and influence growth, metabolism, and maturation

The anterior portion releases tropic hormones in response to hypothalamic releasing hormones The posterior portion releases vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin from neuronal terminals that have their cell bodies in the hypothalamus

An endocrine gland in the small, bony cavity at the base of the brain Often called "the master gland," the pituitary serves the body in many ways-in growth, in food use, and in reproduction

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)

the master gland of the endocrine system; located at the base of the brain

The gland at the base of your brain just below the hypothalamus, that releases FSH and LH to under the influence of GnRH to begin the fertility cycle This is the gland that is most responsible for sexual development during adolescence

small oval endocrine gland attached to the brain which secretes hormones affecting growth and metabolism (Anatomy)

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

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

Small gland in the brain which secretes substances necessary for basic life processes, such as growth

Gland located at the base of the brain which secretes hormones involved in growth, sexual function, and control of other endocrine glands

A master control endocrine gland at the base of the brain The pituitary gland is controlled in turn by the hypothalamus

The "master gland," the major component of the endocrine system, which secretes hormones that control growth
