    The document discusses pituitary disorders and is divided into two sections. The first section describes the anatomy of the pituitary gland, including the adenohypophysis which contains three cell types that secrete growth hormone, prolactin, ACTH, TSH, and FSH/LH. The neurohypophysis secretes ADH and oxytocin. The second section covers disorders of the anterior pituitary, listing excess growth hormone before fusion of epiphyses causes gigantism, and after fusion causes acromegaly, while growth hormone deficiency before fusion causes pituitary dwarfism and after fusion causes fatigue.
