The pituitary gland is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain. Often referred to as the "master gland," it plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by releasing hormones that control other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland consists of two lobes, the anterior and posterior, each responsible for different hormone production. It influences growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. As part of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland maintains overall hormonal balance and contributes to the proper functioning of the body's physiological processes.
