GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the essential hormonal systems regulating normal body functioning is the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, which controls the metabolism of all cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pituitary gland is referred to as the “master gland” because it monitors and regulates many bodily functions through the hormones that it produces, including: Growth and sexual/reproductive development and function. Glands (thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and gonads) Organs (kidneys, uterus, and breasts)

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus is the master switchboard. It’s the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. That pea-sized structure hanging below it is the pituitary gland. It’s called the master gland because it regulates the activity of the glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenal gland. Like many glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The adrenal glands make and release corticosteroid hormones and epinephrine that maintain blood pressure and regulate metabolism.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pituitary gland is sometimes called the “master” gland of the endocrine system because it controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands.
