Which gland controls the pituitary gland and hence the normal and proportionate growth of the body? Correct Answer None of these

Concept:

Gland: A gland is an organ which produces and releases substances that perform a specific function in the body. Glands are two types:

  • Exocrine glands are the glands that secrete their product into a duct. 
    • For example, the salivary gland secretes the saliva into the salivary duct.
  • Endocrine glands are the glands that secrete their product directly into the blood. 
    • There are no ducts in endocrine glands. 
    • The chemical substance secreted by endocrine glands is called hormone. 
    • These hormones travel through the blood and act on the concerned body part.
    • Hormones are a kind of chemical messengers.

Explanation:

  • The pituitary gland is controlled by Hypothalamus. 
  • The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.
  • The pituitary is called the master gland because it controls various other glands.
