    regulates hormones affecting growth, metabolism, and reproduction

    The pituitary gland, often referred to as the "master gland," is a small, pea-sized organ located at the base of the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by releasing hormones that control growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes. This gland influences other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands, making it essential for maintaining hormonal balance and overall health.
