Main Image: The Pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine (hormone-producing) gland weighing about 0.5 g situated at the bottom of the skull sandwiched between the optic nerves, in humans. The pituitary gland secretes hormones. Hormones are chemicals that travel through the blood stream.
Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas. In addition, men produce hormones in their testes and women produce them in their ovaries. Hormones are powerful. It takes only a tiny amount to cause big changes in cells or even your whole body. That is why too much or too little of a certain hormone can be serious.
