Sheehan's syndrome results from postpartum necrosis in this organ, which is guarded by the bony sella turcica. One part of this organ develops from Rathke's pouch, which proliferates into the pars distillaris, tubullaris, and intermedia.  Its intermediate lobe secretes a substance that is responsible for regulating melanin production. Another part of it is served by the hypophyseal portal system, and its other major component contains the axons of the magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus. Consisting of the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis, aka the anterior and posterior lobe, FTP, name this major gland that secretes, among other things, ADH, FSH, LH, prolactin, and growth hormone.
