What does he pituitary gland do?
It controls other glands. It is part of the endocrine system which regulates your body. It stimulates growth, the thyroid gland (metabolism), adrenal glands (steroids etc), menstural cicle and others (pregnancy). Tumours in the pituitary gland can sudenly secrete large amounts of one (rarely more) hormone leading to unsual illness. Damage or compression can lead to a lack of hormones causing wrong balance of hormones and even affect the amount of vitamins/minerals in the body. Rarely tumours elsewhere such as the lungs can mimic the pituitary gland.
