उत्तर
The pituitary gland is called the “master gland” because it secretes hormones that regulate and control the activity of other endocrine glands. It serves as the primary control center by sending signals to stimulate or inhibit the hormone production of other glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs.
