The endocrine gland below the brain is the pituitary gland. It is split into anterior (adenohypophysis) and posterior (neurohypophysis) sections. They differ in the hormones they produce.

Adenohypophysis: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), GH (growth hormone), Prolactin

Neurohypophysis: Oxytocin, ADH (antidiuretic hormone, aka vasopressin)
