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 anterior pituitary gland produces the following hormones and releases them into the bloodstream: 1  Adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principally cortisol. 2  Growth hormone, which regulates growth, metabolism and body composition.rolactin, which stimulates milk production Thyroid stimulating hormone, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones. There are also some hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus and then stored in the posterior pituitary gland prior to being released into the bloodstream.
