The pituitary gland is located in the brain.

The pituitary gland is located in the brain. To find the location of the pituitary gland, you can refer to an anatomy diagram or consult a medical textbook or reliable online source. In the brain, the pituitary gland is situated beneath the hypothalamus, in a small depression called the sella turcica. It is connected to the hypothalamus by a stalk-like structure called the infundibulum.
