what is the pituitary gland?
the gland in the brain that controls the function of the immune system.
the gland in the brain that controls the function of the nervous system.
the gland in the brain that controls the function of other endocrine glands.
the gland in the brain that controls the function of the respiratory system.
the gland in the brain that controls the function of the digestive system.
The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the function of other endocrine glands by secreting hormones that regulate them. It is located in the brain. The immune system is mainly regulated by cells like lymphocytes, the nervous system by neurons, the respiratory system by parts like the diaphragm and lungs' neural - muscular control, and the digestive system by its own set of nerves (enteric nervous system) and hormones (but not primarily by the pituitary).
