Correct Answer:

Pituitary


Solution : The correct option is - Pituitary

The pituitary gland, a tiny gland around the size of a pea, is crucial in controlling important bodily processes and overall health. Because it regulates the activity of the majority of other glands that secrete hormones, it is known as the body's "master gland." The anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland are the two primary lobes of the pituitary gland, and the pars intermedia connects them. The hypothalamus, which regulates the gland's function, is connected to it. Small blood vessels connect the brain and anterior pituitary gland. The brain controls the posterior pituitary gland, which secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream.
