👉 Hypophysis, also known as the pituitary gland, is a small gland situated in the neck that secretes hormones and other substances. These hormones are involved in regulating various bodily functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and body temperature. The hormones produced by the pituitary gland include cortisol, which regulates stress response; dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is used to stimulate growth and repair; and aldosterone, which helps regulate blood pressure.
