Explanation

The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, is known as the "Master gland" because it produces and secretes a variety of hormones that regulate many of the body's functions, including growth, reproduction, and metabolism. The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that regulates the release of hormones throughout the body.
