Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it controls the function of many other glands in the endocrine system, including the gonads (testes and ovaries) which produce sex hormones. The adrenal gland produces hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, but not sex hormones. The hypothalamus plays an important role in regulating the pituitary gland, but it does not directly manufacture sex hormones.
