പിറ്റ്യൂട്ടറി ഗ്ലാൻഡിനെക്കുറിച്ച് അറിയൂ. Pituitary Gland malayalam

അത്ര കുഞ്ഞനല്ലാത്ത തലച്ചോറിലെ കുഞ്ഞൻ ഗ്രന്ധി ,പിറ്റ്യൂട്ടറി ഗ്ലാൻഡിനെക്കുറിച്ച് അറിയൂ By Dr.Boby K Mathew MD DM The pituitary gland is a small endocrine organ that controls a multitude of important functions in the body. It is divided into an anterior lobe, intermediate zone, and posterior lobe, all of which are involved in either hormone production or hormone secretion. The pituitary gland is termed the "Master Gland" because it directs other organs and endocrine glands to either suppress or induce hormone production.
Key Takeaways: Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is called the "Master Gland" because it directs a multitude of endocrine functions in the body. It regulates hormone activity in other endocrine glands and organs.
Pituitary activity is regulated by hormones of the hypothalamus, a brain region connected to the pituitary by the pituitary stalk.
The pituitary is composed of an anterior and posterior lobe with an intermediate region between the two.
Hormones of the anterior pituitary include adrenocorticotropin hormones (ACTH), growth hormone (GH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin (PRL), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Hormones stored by the posterior pituitary include antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin.
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) is an intermediate pituitary hormone.
Hypothalamus-Pituitary Complex
The pituitary gland and hypothalamus are closely connected both structurally and functionally. The hypothalamus is an important brain structure that has both nervous system and endocrine system function. It serves as a link between the two systems translating nervous system messages into endocrine hormones.
The posterior pituitary is composed of axons that extend from the neurons of the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary also stores hypothalmic hormones. Blood vessel connections between the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary allow hypothalamic hormones to control anterior pituitary hormone production and secretion. The hypothalamus-pituitary complex serves to maintain homeostasis by monitoring and adjusting physiological processes through hormone secretion.
Pituitary Function
The pituitary gland is involved in several functions of the body including:
Growth hormone production
Production of hormones that act on other endocrine glands
Production of hormones that act on the muscles and the kidneys
Endocrine function regulation
Storage of hormones produced by the hypothalamus
Location
Directionally, the pituitary gland is located in the middle of the base of the brain, inferior to the hypothalamus. It is nestled within a depression in the sphenoid bone of the skull called the sella turcica. The pituitary gland extends from and is connected to the hypothalamus by a stalk-like structure called the infundibulum, or pituitary stalk.
Pituitary Hormones
The posterior pituitary lobe does not produce hormones but stores hormones produced by the hypothalamus. Posterior pituitary hormones include antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. The anterior pituitary lobe produces six hormones that are either stimulated or inhibited by hypothalamic hormone secretion. The intermediate pituitary zone produces and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

Anterior Pituitary Hormones
Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH): stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the stress hormone cortisol.
Growth Hormone: stimulates growth of tissues and bone, as well as the breakdown of fat.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): stimulates male and female gonads to release sex hormones, testosterone in men and estrogens and progesterone in women.
Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH): promotes the production of male and female gametes (sperm and ova).
Prolactin (PRL): stimulates breast development and milk production in women.
Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH): stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH): helps maintain water balance by decreasing water loss in urine.
Oxytocin - promotes lactation, maternal behavior, social bonding, and sexual arousal.
Intermediate Pituitary Hormones
Melanocyte-stimulating Hormone (MSH): promotes melanin production in skin cells called melanocytes. This induces skin darkening.
