The endocrine system is composed of a network of glands, responsible for secreting hormones in the circulatory system, functions in feedback loops to regulate the action or function of a distant organ or tissue. These hormones control various important physiological functions such as regulation of the metabolism, growth, and development of the body.
The hypothalamus, present at the base of the brain is crucial for controlling the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is located in a small pocket of bone termed the sella turcica and remains connected to the hypothalamus with the help of the pituitary stalk. It is divided into the anterior and posterior lobes.
