The anterior pituitary gland produces growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
The posterior pituitary gland stores anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin, both of which are actually produced in the hypothalamus.
