Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' as the hormones it produces control so many different processes in the body. It senses the body's needs and sends signals to different organs and glands throughout the body to regulate their function and maintain an appropriate environment.

kkmartin2005
The pituitary, a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain, produces a number of hormones. Each of these hormones affects a specific part of the body (a target organ or tissue). Because the pituitary controls the function of most other endocrine glands, it is often called the master gland.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone: Thyroid gland
Adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH): Adrenal glands
Oxytocin*: Uterus and mammary glands
Prolactin: Mammary glands
