I can't come up with a memorable mnemonic for the pituitary gland functions. Growth, cortex activity, thyroid, H2O in blood, Ovary or sperm development, and corpus luteum and testoterone

Humph!
GroCTHOSCoLT too hard for you, I suppose :-)

Personally, I don't remember it as the functions like that. I remember the hormones it produces.

Anterior pituitary: "Grow The FLAP"
for GH - TSH - FSH - LH - ACTH - Prolactin

(or make up something - Pro the FLAG or whatever)

and the Posterior pituitary just does Vasopressin and Oxytocin.
