To understand the Pituitary gland, it is important to know how it works within the Endocrine system. These sections provide an overview of the Endocrine System, other glands such as the adrenals and thyroid, other organs with endocrine tissue such as the kidneys, testes and ovaries, hormones produced within the body and the importance of the pituitary gland (often referred to as the ‘Master Gland’) within that system.
For information about specific pituitary conditions, please refer to our ‘Pituitary Disorders’ section.
