  1. has two primary
    1. HORMONES
      1. released by
        1. GLANDS
          1. PITUITARY GLAND
            1. located at
              1. base of brain
                1. attached to the
                  1. hypothalamus
              2. which
                1. stores and produces hormones
                2. composed of
                  1. two separate lobes
