Anatomy of the Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is divided into the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe, each responsible for producing and releasing specific hormones.
Hormones Produced
The pituitary gland produces hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and more, each with distinct functions in the body.
Function of the Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in regulating growth, metabolism, reproduction, and other physiological processes, as well as maintaining water balance and responding to stress.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
