    The endocrine system regulates hormones that control growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The pituitary gland is called the "master gland" and produces hormones in both its anterior and posterior lobes. The anterior pituitary secretes growth hormone, prolactin, and other hormones, while the posterior pituitary secretes antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. The adrenal gland located above the kidneys also plays an important role, with the adrenal cortex producing hormones and the adrenal medulla secreting epinephrine and norepinephrine.
