Understanding the Pituitary & Adrenal Glands
The pituitary and adrenal glands are essential components of the endocrine system, producing hormones that regulate vital functions in your body.
- Pituitary Gland – Produces hormones like growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone.
- Adrenal Glands – Produce catecholamines (e.g., adrenaline) and steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, crucial for stress response and salt-water balance.
