Introduction:
The pituitary gland is very small pea like structure found at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland has two lobes: the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis) and the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis).

The hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary are: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone, gonadotrophic hormone, prolactin, growth hormone and melanocyte stimulating hormone.
