Which endocrine gland is known as the 'master gland'? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, controls other endocrine glands through its hormones (e.g., TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH). Hence, it is called the master gland. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary via releasing and inhibiting hormones. Thyroid secretes thyroxine, adrenal secretes adrenaline, pancreas (endocrine part) secretes insulin and glucagon. The pituitary has two lobes: anterior and posterior.
