Answer 1

The answer is ‘transported in blood or hemolymph are all under the control of the pituitary gland’. The pituitary is the master gland because it controls functions of other endocrine glands that produce different hormones. Hormones allow communication between organs and tissues for physiological regulation and behavioral activities, such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, and tissue function.
