The pituitary gland secretes hormones that are responsible for regulating the activity of other endocrine glands.
   • Thyroid-stimulating hormone regulates the thyroid gland.
   • Adrenocorticotropin hormone regulates the adrenal cortex.
   • Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone (the gonadotropins) regulate the gonads (ovaries and testes).
