The pituitary gland develops from two embryological structures: Rathke's pouch, which rises upward from the primitive mouth (oral ectoderm), and the infundibulum, which descends from the developing brain (neuroectoderm); these structures fuse together to form the pituitary gland, the master gland responsible for growth, metabolism, reproduction, and hormonal control in the human body.

The development of the pituitary glandAdded:
Two embryological structures begin moving towards each other.
Rathke's pouch rises upward from the primitive mouth while the infundibulum descends from the developing brain.
One comes from the oral ectoderm.
The other from neuroectoderm.
When they finally connect, they form the pituitary gland, the master gland of the human body.
