The body has approximately eleven organ systems, all doing different things at the same time.
In order to keep us functioning, or, well, alive, they need one voice, a leader, a master.
And in our brains, that job belongs to the pituitary gland. It senses the body's needs before they even arise, working non-stop. The pituitary gland communicates with all of the other glands, telling them when to produce the vital hormones we need to function. It keeps everything running smoothly, in perfect order.
There's no denying it. It has the toughest job in the place. It's pretty simple. If the brain's working, the body will listen. Your limbs want to hold you up. Your lungs want to breathe. Your heart wants to beat.
But none of them are any good without the brain.
The brain keeps everything all together.
Like a boss.
