- In the 1920s the functions of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland were obscure, and there was much more interest in the posterior lobe, particularly since it contained, and was presumed to secrete, substances which could cause a rise of blood pressure, an inhibition of urine secretion, and a contraction of uterine muscle. (animalresearch.info)

Testes2
- The male reproductive system consists of a pair of testes that produce sperm (or spermatozoa ), ducts that transport the sperm to the penis and glands that add secretions to the sperm to make semen (see diagram 13.2). (wikibooks.org)
- This is the reason why the testes are located in a bag of skin called the scrotal sacs (or scrotum ) that hangs below the body and where the evaporation of secretions from special glands can further reduce the temperature. (wikibooks.org)
Trophic1
- When pituitary hormone production is impaired, target gland hormone production is reduced because of a lack of trophic stimulus. (medscape.com)
Master gland2
- The pituitary is often called the "master gland", as it controls the functioning of many other endocrine glands of the body, including the thyroid, adrenals and reproductive glands. (pituitary.asn.au)
