Difference between Pituitary and Pituitary Gland

PITUITARY vs PITUITARY GLAND: NOUN

The pituitary gland together with the pituitary stalk.
An extract from the pituitary gland.
An extract from the anterior or posterior lobes of the pituitary gland, prepared for therapeutic use.
The pituitary gland.
The master gland of the endocrine system; located at the base of the brain

The master gland of the endocrine system; located at the base of the brain
A small oval endocrine gland attached to the base of the vertebrate brain and consisting of an anterior and a posterior lobe, the secretions of which control the other endocrine glands and influence growth, metabolism, and maturation.

Of or relating to the pituitary gland
Of or secreting phlegm or mucus; mucous.
Secreting mucus or phlegm.
Of or pertaining to the pituitary body.
A a small, somewhat cherry-shaped endocrine gland, situated in the pituitary fossa, and suspended from the base of the hypothalamus; the hypophysis; -- called also glandula pituitaria, and basilaris. It secretes th pituitary hormones: oxytocin; vasopresin; antidiuretic hormone; luteinizing hormone; somatotropins; prolactin; thyroid stimulating hormone; gonadotropins; adrenal corticotropin and other peptide hormones. It affects all hormonal functions, and is thus called the “master gland”.
The ephippium.
Having abnormal size with overgrown extremities resulting from abnormal pituitary secretion

Located at the base of the brain
Mucous; secreting or containing mucus, or supposed to do so; relating to pituita.

Both whole anterior pituitary gland tissue and dispersed pituitary cells incubated with magnetic beads were investigated.
Acute hemorrhage or infarction of a preexisting pituitary adenoma is referred to as pituitary apoplexy.
Benign pituitary tumors are the most common cause of clinically relevant pituitary disease.
Pituitary tumors are the most common pituitary disorder, and many adults have them.
Pituitary apoplexy may occur in the presence of a pituitary adenoma but may also occur in the normal pituitary gland.
Hyperprolactinaemia, intrasellar pituitary tissue pressure and the pituitary stalk compression syndrome.
ACTH by the pituitary gland, generally due to a pituitary tumor.
In general, pituitary height is accepted to reflect pituitary growth.
Pituitary gland and pituitary adenomas are known to express SSTR.
Most pituitary tumors start in the larger, front part of the pituitary gland known as the anterior pituitary.

We have shown that GILZ is upregulated by glucocorticoids in the embryonic pituitary gland and may regulate expression of several pituitary hormones.
Pituitary apoplexy which results from either hemorrhage or infarction of the pituitary gland may be associated with high mortality and morbidity.
GHD may be idiopathic, due to brain tumours affecting the pituitary gland, morphologic pituitary abnormalities, or genetic defects.
Both whole anterior pituitary gland tissue and dispersed pituitary cells incubated with magnetic beads were investigated.
Thyroid gland functions are monitored by pituitary gland located in the brain.
ACTH by the pituitary gland, generally due to a pituitary tumor.
Pituitary gland and pituitary adenomas are known to express SSTR.
Most pituitary tumors start in the larger, front part of the pituitary gland known as the anterior pituitary.
Hormones from the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland.
An underactive pituitary gland or a pituitary gland tumor that inhibits ACTH production; this is known as secondary adrenal insufficiency.
