The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, acts as the control center for the endocrine system. It has an anterior and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe is controlled by hormones from the hypothalamus that stimulate or inhibit the release of hormones like growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone. These hormones target organs like the thyroid, adrenals, and liver. The posterior lobe stores and releases oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone which are produced in the hypothalamus. Pituitary tumors can cause hyperpituitarism by overproducing hormones or compressing the pituitary and decreasing hormone production.
