Line 74: == Function == [[File:Pituiary gland - regulatory hormones.png\|thumb\|280px\|[[Pituitary hormones]]]] [[File:Pituiary gland - regulatory hormones.png\|thumb\|280px\|Pituitary circuits]]The anterior pituitary regulates several physiological processes by secreting hormones. This includes stress (by secreting [[Adrenocorticotropic hormone\|ACTH]]), growth (by secreting [[Growth hormone\|GH]]), reproduction (by secreting [[Follicle-stimulating hormone\|FSH]] and [[Luteinizing hormone\|LH]]), metabolism rate (by secreting [[Thyroid-stimulating hormone\|TSH]]) and [[lactation]] (by secreting [[prolactin]]). The [[intermediate lobe]] synthesizes and secretes [[melanocyte-stimulating hormone]]. The [[posterior pituitary]] (or neurohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that is functionally connected to the [[hypothalamus]] by the [[median eminence]] via a small tube called the [[pituitary stalk]] (also called the infundibular stalk or the infundibulum). It regulates hydroelectrolytic stability (by secreting [[Vasopressin\|ADH]]), uterine contraction during labor and human attachment (by secreting [[oxytocin]]).▼ ▲~~[[File:Pituiary gland - regulatory hormones.png\|thumb\|280px\|Pituitary circuits]]~~The anterior pituitary regulates several physiological processes by secreting hormones.
