The 21 pages that link to Pituitary gland, each with the reason it gives.

• HypothalamusCompared with: The pituitary executes many hormonal outputs that the hypothalamus directs.

• Endocrine systemBroader topic: Its hormones control several peripheral glands, while its posterior lobe releases hypothalamic hormones.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axisBroader topic: Its anterior lobe releases ACTH in response to hypothalamic signaling.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axisBroader topic: Its anterior lobe relays hypothalamic signals to the gonads.

• Pituitary adenomaNarrower topic: Adenomas arise within this gland and can alter its hormone output.

• Growth hormone deficiencyNarrower topic: The anterior pituitary is the usual source of deficient growth hormone.

• Growth hormone therapyRelated: Pituitary function is central to diagnosing deficiency and understanding replacement.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axisNarrower topic: Its anterior lobe relays hypothalamic input to the thyroid.

• Hypothalamic-pituitary axisBroader topic: Its lobes translate hypothalamic input into hormones released to the body.

• Bernardo HoussayNarrower topic: Removing it in animals lowered blood glucose and altered diabetes, revealing its metabolic influence.

• DiencephalonRelated: The hypothalamus connects to this gland through the pituitary stalk.

• Endocrine glandBroader topic: Its hormones control several other endocrine organs.

• HypopituitarismNarrower topic: Its anterior and posterior lobes are the source of the hormone deficits in hypopituitarism.

• NeuroendocrinologyBroader topic: It relays hypothalamic control to multiple endocrine targets.

• André the GiantRelated: A pituitary tumor can cause the hormone excess associated with gigantism.

• ProlactinomaNarrower topic: Prolactinomas arise from hormone-producing cells in this gland.

• Roger GuilleminRelated: The hypothalamic peptides Guillemin studied alter hormone secretion from this gland.

• Robert WadlowRelated: Wadlow’s disorder involved this gland, which secretes growth hormone.

• Empty sella syndromeBroader topic: Its flattening within the sella can affect hormone production.

• HyperprolactinaemiaNarrower topic: Most circulating prolactin is secreted by lactotroph cells in its anterior lobe.

• Neurosecretory systemsRelated: It receives neurosecretory signals and also stores hormones made by hypothalamic neurons.
