    chemical messengers from the brain's pituitary gland

    Pituitary hormones are chemical messengers produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. These hormones regulate various essential bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes, by signaling other glands and organs to perform specific tasks. For example, growth hormone stimulates growth and cell reproduction, while thyroid-stimulating hormone prompts the thyroid gland to release hormones that control metabolism.
