1. The pituitary gland is made of three lobes. The anterior lobe in larvae and young adults secretes the growth-stimulating hormones which in turn regulate growth and affects the function of the thyroid gland. In adults, it secretes the gonad stimulating hormone that is responsible for the release of ova and sperm from the ovary and testes, respectively. The intermediate lobe produces intermedin or the melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which regulates the behavior of the chromatophores in the skin. The posterior lobe secretes vasopressin or the antidiuretic hormone, which regulates water intake by the skin. 2. The pineal gland, located between the optic lobes and the anterior olfactory lobes, produces melatonin, a hormone that controls the Circadian rhythms and reproductive cycles. 3. The endocrine glands located outside the brain include the thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, and the gonads (testes and ovaries). The thyroid gland, located behind the hyoid cartilage, produces the…
