Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small pea-sized gland that plays a major role in regulating vital body functions and general wellbeing.

It is referred to as the body's 'master gland' because it controls the activity of most other hormone-secreting glands.

Answer 2

The pituitary gland is a small gland that sits in the sella turcica (‘Turkish saddle’), a bony hollow in the base of the skull, underneath the brain and behind the bridge of the nose. The pituitary gland has two main parts, the anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland. The gland is attached to a part of the brain (the hypothalamus) that controls its activity. The anterior pituitary gland is connected to the brain by short blood vessels. The posterior pituitary gland is actually part of the brain and it secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream under the command of the brain.
