The anterior pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus, within the sella turcica of the skull. It secretes several key hormones, including growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones play crucial roles in regulating growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response.
