Question

Which gland plays and important part in weight control?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pituitary gland

Explanation:

Your pituitary gland (also known as hypophysis) is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain below your hypothalamus. It sits in its own little chamber under your brain known as the sella turcica. It’s a part of your endocrine system and is in charge of making several essential hormones. Your pituitary gland also tells other endocrine system glands to release hormones. One of the hormones that it makes is the Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH stimulates your thyroid to produce thyroid hormones that manage your metabolism, energy levels, and your nervous system.
