The middle cranial fossa ranges from the posterior edge of the lesser wings of the sphenoid bone (anteriorly) to the anterior region of the petrous part of the temporal bone (posteriorly). It houses the temporal lobes of the brain and the pituitary gland.

<h3>Where is the Pituitary gland located?</h3>

Pituitary gland is located within the Mid-brain. It is an endocrine gland, about the size of a pea, that sits in a small, bony cavity at the base of the brain whose secretions control the other endocrine glands and influence growth, metabolism, and maturation.

It lies in the Sella turcica of the sphenoid bone (A compound bone at the base of the skull behind the eyes)

Thus, the middle is the answer.
