The pituitary gland secretes 9 important endocrine hormones, one of which is the human growth hormone.
The hormone responsible for beard growth is called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is derived from testosterone. DHT is produced in various tissues in the body, including the adrenal glands and hair follicles. It is not specifically secreted by a single gland in the body.

The thyroid gland secretes hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) that play a key role in regulating metabolism in the body. These hormones control how the body uses energy, affecting processes like heart rate, body temperature, and calorie burning.
The secretory activity of the adenohypophysis is controlled by releasing hormones from the hypothalamus. These releasing hormones stimulate or inhibit the release of specific hormones from the adenohypophysis. The hypothalamus communicates with the adenohypophysis through the hypophyseal portal system, which carries releasing hormones directly from the hypothalamus to the adenohypophysis.

The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it plays a key role in regulating hormone production throughout the body. These hormones can have a significant impact on behavior, mood, and stress response. For example, hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin released by the pituitary gland can influence social behavior and bonding. Imbalances in pituitary hormone levels can contribute to mood disorders, anxiety, and other behavioral changes.
The testes gland secretes testicles.
The endocrine gland secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. Examples of endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands.
The pituitary gland secretes hormones into the bloodstream to affect the sex organs. It releases the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that regulate the functioning of the testes and ovaries.
An endocrine gland secretes hormones into the bloodstream as oppose to an exocrine gland which secretes substances into the body cavities or skin.
