pituitary gland.

i can see why you are so moody,
your pituitary gland is in action, you see
if ever we could only have eyes inside us,
we'll find out its only a size of a pea

a pea so powerful it can control our emotions
why still keeping up in pace,
we shall learn its other functions
and its amazing features, we will trace.

oh, are you wondering why you're so tall
or are you wondering why you haven't grown at all?
well my dear that is due to the growth hormone
so read on and it will be shown

the pituitary releases so many things,
and yes, even stress, it could bring
the adenocorticotropic hormone is an example
of how our moods can rock and roll

how about the thyroid stimulating hormone you might say?
well it's a tool you may test right away,
if the patient has hyperthyroidism,
my friend medication is needed, it seems

are you wondering when you were an infant
that milk comes out of mommy's in an instant?
its due to prolactin, no doubt,
a hormone our mothers can't feed us without..

see i have stated in poetic form,
what these hormones do and where are they from
anterior pituitary gland, a useful thing
and all the wonders to our body it brings :)
