The adenohypophysis is a complementary gland located in the anterior region of the pituitary, with respect to a coordinate axis in which the pituitary is in a superior position, it receives this prefix given its origin, and also because it is closely related to hormones secreted by the pituitary. The importance in human development of the hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis is such that they represent a complex study in their functions, the main one of which is the production of Somatotropin, better known as growth hormone., This hormone, from building cells, is responsible for the lengthening, adaptation, strengthening and complexion of muscles, bones and organs in a rigorous relationship with time and important aspects such as diet and exercise.
In the case of women, in addition to the complete set of hormones for the body's development, the adenohypophysis secretes Prolactin, this exudate is sent directly to the female's mammary glands and begins with the production of natural dairy products which will be administered to a future offspring, conceived by sexual reproduction. It should be noted that the production of prolactin begins just at the moment that gestation begins, the presence of the fluid in the breasts in the time that is not foreseen could be caused by serious defects in the adenohypophysis gland. It is also important to note that through the secretion of prolactin, crucial genetic data are included so that the little offspring receive them through feeding.
Similarly, if the adenohypophysis secretes inadequate amounts of Somatotropin, they could cause gigantism or dwarfism as the case may be, as well as problems with body deformities. An eventual removal of the adenohypophysis from its functions could have serious consequences for human health.
The adenohypophysis also secretes and regulates hormones that stimulate various functions of the body, such as the hair follicle stimulating hormone, in this way the appearance of hairs and hairs on the skin is controlled. It also complements the functions exercised by the thyroid with the secretion of thyrotropin, which helps the proper functioning of the thyroid.
