It would be good if someone could get a pic of this....most of the ones I'm running across are questionable in terms of their copyright status. GrazingshipIV 04:00, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)

I made a quick illustration for the anterior/posterior pituitary articles, but admittedly it's pretty weak. I'll add it to this page until someone finds something better. --Diberri 06:10, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Seat of the soul?

Didn't René Descartes think that the pituitary gland was where the soul was attached to the body (mind/body problem)? -- Toby Bartels 03:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Not quite. Descartes thought the pineal gland-the only known non-lateralized brain structure at his time-was the seat of the soul. Semiconscious (talk · home) 09:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hormonal funcion

this article is missing an important information. A brief description of what function each hormone produced have.201.21.214.85 16:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Clicking on them will tell you. But I agree, perhaps 1 sentence could be written about each hormone as they are related to the role of the pituitary gland. --78.86.117.164 01:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pituitary Gland

Does anyone know how bad a hemoraged pituitary gland is? Does that require surgery or medication? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.116.211.119 (talk) 18:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] more and better pictures needed.

more pictures needed.

more and better Gross anatomy pictures needed. a picture of the bones that surround it is also needed - get a view of the sella turcica from the top.

[edit] undo vandalism

please undo the vandalism done to this page, it says something with penis and semen in between sentences. Furthermore, something went wrong with the template, i think.

How do you pronounce this? StealthNinja360 (talk) 17:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pituitary and Pineal glands

Please can anyone explain, in simple terms,if there is any connection between the Pituitary and the Pineal glands. If so, how does the health of one affect the other?
