Pituitary Gland - -Produces and releases hormones that regulate other endocrine glands. -Controlled by the hypothalamus through releasing and inhibiting factors. -Hormones include growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), among others. Thyroid Gland - -Produces thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) that regulate metabolism. -TSH from the pituitary stimulates thyroid hormone production. -Negative feedback loop maintains thyroid hormone levels. Ad...
