    Is the thyroid gland the master gland

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The thyroid gland is not the master gland. The master gland is the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland produces and releases hormones that control the function of other glands in the body, including the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland, on the other hand, produces hormones that regulate metabolism and growth, but it is not considered the master gland.
