...the pituitary, the master gland.Nowhere is the incredibly delicate complexity of the human body more clearly seen than in the endocrine system, where the pituitary runs the show.
Enthroned in the sella turcica (which is NOT an Italian sports car), it connects all higher order functions, emotions, and sensory inputs to that otherwise immobile lump we call the body. Through its intricate feedback loops it controls every cell, every reaction, every movement--millions of them each second. Usually without a hitch.
So think kind thoughts about your pituitary today and it will continue to hum along,
proving once again that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
