This 651-page book on the FBI is a personal story supplement to the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia. It is the story of a highly decorated Vietnam helicopter pilot, an FBI agent in the New York area, Richard Taus, who discovered major areas of criminal misconduct in government offices.
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 pituitary glands are made of the anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces and releases hormones. The posterior lobe does not produce hormones per seâthis is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamusâbut it does release them into the circulation.Hormones of the Pituitary Gland.The hormones of the pituitary gland send signals to other endocrine glands to stimulate or inhibit their own hormone production. The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands. 2  The pituitary gland has two partsâthe anterior lobe and posterior lobeâthat have two very separate functions. 3  The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.
