The pituitary gland is a part of our endocrine system. Its main function is to secrete hormones into our bloodstream. The pituitary gland is sometimes called the master gland because it’s involved in so many processes. The pituitary gland is small and oval-shaped. It’s located behind our nose, near the underside of your brain. It’s attached to the hypothalamus by a stalklike structure.
The hypothalamus is a small area of our brain. It’s very important in controlling the balance of y
our bodily functions. It controls the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is referred to as the “master gland” because it monitors and regulates many bodily functions through the hormones that it produces, including:
- Growth and sexual/reproductive development and function
- Glands (thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and gonads)
- Organs (kidneys, uterus, and breasts)

Brother/Sister your correct answer is:-
The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' as the hormones it produces control so many different processes in the body and control other parts of the endocrine system, namely the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes.. It senses the body's needs and sends signals to different organs and glands throughout the body to regulate their function and maintain an appropriate environment. It secretes a variety of hormones into the bloodstream which act as messengers to transmit information from the pituitary gland to distant cells, regulating their activity.
The pituitary gland is only about ⅓ of an inch in diameter (that’s about as large as a pea) and located at the base of the brain.
