Pituitary Gland. The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is about the size of a pea and sits in the small, bony cavity (sella turcica) at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is divided into two sections: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). The posterior pituitary is, in effect, a projection of the hypothalamus. It does not produce its own hormones, but only stores and releases the hormones created by the hypothalamus, whereas the anterior pituitary produces and secretes its own hormones.
The Posterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland (or neurophpophysis) stores and releases hormones secreted by the hypothalamus section of the brain including: 1  ADH (Antidiuretic hormone) stimulates the smooth muscles, blood vessels and the intestine.he Thyroid itself secretes three main hormones: 1  Thyroxine contains iodine which is essential for the body's normal growth, and metabolism. 2  Thyroxine helps control body size, regulating not only the growth of tissues but also the differentiation or specialisation of tissues.
