Why is the pituitary gland called the master gland?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because its hormones influence the working of other glands

The governing concept is coordination by endocrine hormones. The pituitary secretes hormones such as thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and gonadotropins, which regulate the activity of several other endocrine glands. Growth hormone and other pituitary hormones also act directly on tissues. Thus it is traditionally called the master gland. It does not make digestive juice, join bones or filter blood, so option C is correct.
