| pituitary cachexia | Anterior pituitary insufficiency due to trauma, vascular lesions, or tumours; usually developing postpartum as a result of pituitary necrosis caused by ischemia during a hypotensive episode during delivery; characterised clinically by asthenia, loss of weight and body hair, arterial hypotension, and manifestations of thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hypofunction. Synonym: hypophysial cachexia, pituitary cachexia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pituitary diverticulum | A tubular outgrowth of ectoderm from the stomodeum of the embryo; it grows dorsad toward the infundibular process of the diencephalon, around which it forms a cup-like mass, giving rise to the pars distalis and pars juxtaneuralis of the hypophysis. Synonym: craniopharyngeal canal, hypophyseal pouch, Rathke's diverticulum, Rathke's pocket, Rathke's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary dwarf | Dwarfism as result of failure of growth hormone production because of hypothalamic or pituitary abnormality. Synonym: pituitary dwarf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary dwarfism | Short stature due to underpreformance of the pituitary gland (specifically of the anterior pituitary). (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary fossa | Fossa of the sphenoid bone housing the pituitary gland. See: sella turcica. Synonym: fossa hypophysialis, pituitary fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary gigantism | Excessive growth due to overactivity of the pituitary gland (specifically of the anterior pituitary). (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary gland | A small oval shaped endocrine gland situated at the base of the brain in the fossa (depression) of the sphenoid bone. The overall role is to regulate growth and metabolism. The gland is divided into the posterior and anterior pituitary, each responsible for the production of its own unique hormones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pituitary gland, anterior | The glandular or anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary gland, posterior | The neural or post-neural lobe of the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary gonadotropic hormone | Any gonadotropin of hypophysial origin; formerly used to designate a single hormone, because it was thought that the anterior hypophysis secreted only one gonadotropin. Synonym: pituitary gonadotropic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary gonadotropins | gonadoprophins |
| pituitary growth hormone | <protein> Hormone (191 amino acids) released by anterior pituitary that stimulates release of somatomedin, thereby causing growth. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones | Polypeptide hormones produced in the hypothalamus which inhibit the release of pituitary hormones. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormone-releasing hormones | Hormones released by one structure (e.g., the hypothalamus or the thyroid gland) that effect the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pituitary hormones | Hormones secreted by the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary gland and the pars intermedia, an ill-defined region between the two. Their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pituitary gland |
The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea that sits in the small, bony cavity (sella turcica) at the base of the brain. Its posterior lobe is connected to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus via the infundibulum (or stalk), giving rise to the tuberoinfundibular pathway. The posterior lobe is thus derived from neural ectoderm while the anterior lobe is derived from oral ectoderm. ...
