The pituitary gland or hypophysis is a small gland about 1 centimeter in diameter or the size of a pea. It is nearly surrounded by bone as it rests in the sella turcica, a depression in the sphenoid bone.
The pituitary gland is sometimes called the master gland of the endocrine system, because it controls the functions of all the other endocrine glands. This Master Gland role makes the pituitary gland quite important, despite its small size. The medical term is hypophysis (from the Greek, lying under) which refers to the gland's position on the underside of the brain. The term pituitary is in reference to secretion, but has come to be synonymous with, and easier to say, than hypophysis.
