It is responsible for the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, Antidiuretic Hormone (for osmoregulation), Hormones pertaining to secondary sexual characteristics, Thyroid stimulating hormone, Prolactin (to do with breast milk production during gestation) and Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (to do with stimulating cortisol, which is to do with stress).
