 * Ovaries
 * Pituitary

posterior gland (neurohypophysis). || //Parathyroid hormone// (//PTH//)-parathormone or parathyrin, is secreted by the chief cells of the parathyroid glands as a polypeptide containing 84 amino acids. || **Pituitary tumors** are found in the pituitary gland, a small gland located in the middle of the head behind the eyes. The pituitary gland is attached to, and receives messages from, the hypothalamus. The pituitary is composed of two lobes -- the anterior (front) and the posterior (back). Several hormones are produced by the pituitary including prolactin, corticotropin, and growth hormone. || parathyroid gland disease (hyperparathyroidism) || Group 7
