2.2 The Endocrine System
mixed difficulty
What represents the evolution of our understanding about the pituitary gland's function?
Initially thought as non-functional, now considered essential for body growth and development.
Once perceived solely responsible for all body functions, now viewed as having little importance at all.
From categorizing it as an independent entity to acknowledging it as a "master gland" controlled by hypothalamus signals.
Our understanding has remained constant that pituitary gland functions independently with no other influences.
