| pituitary / hypophysis cerebri | gland at base of brain - 2 lobes |
| anterior pituitary / adenohypophysis | secretes many hormones |
| growth hormone / GH | hormone regulates growth - ant |
| adenocorticotropic hormond / ACTH | stimulates adrenal cortex - ant |
| thyroid stimulating hormone / TSH | stimulates thyroid hormone production - ant |
| gonadotropic hormones | affect reproductive systems - ant |
| follicle stimulating hormone / FSH | regulate ovarian function - ant |
| luteinizing hormone / LH | promotes secretion of progesterone - ant |
| prolactin / PRL | promotes development of milk glands and production - ant |
| posterior pituitary lobe | releases 2 hormones |

| oxytocin | stimulates uterine contractions - posterior |
| hypothalamus | gland that regulates pituitary hormone release |
| thryoid gland | controls cellular metabolism |
| parathyroid gland | 4 glands regulate serum calcium |
| islets of langerhans | secret insulin from pancreas |
| adrenal glands / suprarenals | cortex and medulla secret hormones |
| cortisol | from adrenal cortex - helps with stress |
| aldosterone | adrenal cortex - regulates electrolytes |
