Functions of the pituitary gland:

Each lobe of the pituitary gland produces certain hormones.

anterior lobe:

- growth hormone
- prolactin - to stimulate milk production after giving birth
- ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - to stimulate the adrenal glands
- TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the thyroid gland
- FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries and testes
- LH (luteinizing hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries or testes

intermediate lobe:

- melanocyte-stimulating hormone - to control skin pigmentation

posterior lobe:

- ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - to increase digestion of water into the blood by the kidneys
- oxytocin - to contract the uterus during childbirth and stimulate milk production


ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - to stimulate the adrenal glands is the hormones that are released when you own stress.

Is there hope? Please comfort. I want to be okay?

The hormones produced by the anterior Pituitary gland are: Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) which stimulates the Adrenal glands to produce Cortisol or Hydrocortisone controlling arousal and the response to stress and influencing carbohydrate metabolism;
