Answer:
The pituitary gland is called the master gland of the endocrine system. This is because it controls many other hormone glands in the body. According to The Pituitary Foundation, without it, the body wouldn't reproduce, wouldn't grow properly and many other bodily functions just wouldn't function.
The pituitary is a small endocrine gland located below the hypothalamus in the brain. It is called as master gland because its secretion regulates and controls the secretion of the other endocrine glands such as thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas etc. The hormones of this gland are also required for the different activities in the body.
