the gland in the brain that controls the function of the nervous system.
the gland in the brain that controls the function of the immune system.

The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it controls the function of other endocrine glands.

It does not directly control the respiratory, nervous, immune, or digestive systems in the way described in the other options.
