Pituitary gland , also called hypophysis , ductless gland of the endocrine system that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. The pituitary gland lies at the middle of the base of the skull and is housed within a bony structure called the sella turcica, which is behind the nose and immediately beneath the hypothalamus.
