It's called the 'Fight or Flight' Syndrome. When a threatening situation arises the adrenal gland will inject the hormone, epinephrine into the bloodstream, to boost thesupply of oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, in effect preparing the body and brain for either stand up and confront the threat OR run away from the threat.

Does the pituitary gland encompasses hormones that influence growth metabolism reproduction and water balance?

Yes, the pituitary gland produces hormones that influence growth, metabolism, reproduction, and water balance. It secretes growth hormone (GH) that promotes growth and development, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) that regulates metabolism, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that control reproductive functions, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that regulates water balance in the body.


What hormones does the pituitary gland release to control other endocrine glands?

The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes the following important endocrine hormones: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), release under influence of hypothalamic Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH). Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), release under influence of hypothalamic Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH). Growth hormone (also referred to as 'Human Growth Hormone', 'HGH' or 'GH' or somatotropin), release under influence of hypothalamic Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH); inhibited by hypothalamic Somatostatin. Prolactin (PRL), also known as 'Luteotropic' hormone (LTH), release under influence of multiple hypothalamic Prolactin Releasing Factors (PRH). The two 'Gonadotropins'; Luteinizing hormone (also referred to as 'Lutropin' or 'LH', or in males, 'Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone' (ICSH)), and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), both released under influence of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). and; melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH's) or "intermedins" as these are released by the pars intermedia which is "the middle part"; adjacent to the posterior pituitary lobe, pars intermedia is a specific part developed from the anterior pituitary lobe. The posterior pituitary stores and releases: Oxytocin, most of which is released from the paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin and AVP, arginine vasopressin), the majority of which is released from the supraoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus
