For example, growth, reproduction, lactation, and stress.In case a person wants to know his or her proper functioning of anterior pituitary and organs are regulating, he or she should ascertain through blood tests which measure hormone levels.Anterior pituitary has three regions.
(i) Pars distalis. This is where the production of the bulk of pituitary hormone occurs. It has chromophil cells and chromophobe cells. These cells produce hormone of anterior pituitary which releases them bloodstream.
(ii) Pars tuberalis. It is extended from pars distalis and forms part of the sheath.
(iii) Pars intermedia. It stays between posterior pituitary and pars distalis.
