Function:
The pituitary gland is located below the brain. Usually no larger than a pea, the gland controls many functions of the other endocrine glands. Think of it as the coordinator of the endocrine system!

The pituitary is the master gland of the human body. It is so-called because many parts of the body are directly or indirectly affected by its function.
