Anterior pituitary gland It is a major Dwarfism participant in control of several complex physiologic processes, including growth and metabolism. Stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone. Stimulates adrenal glands to produce hormones. isa trophicpeptide hor mone responsible for the release of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary stimulates mammary gland growth and milk production 1.PITUITARY GLAND Myxedema crentenism Addisonss disease Kallmann syndrome, HYPERSECRETION
