best_answer

The Hypophysis cerebri, also known as the Pituitary Gland, is a small gland located at the base of the brain. It is often referred to as the "master gland" because it plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by secreting hormones that control the activity of other endocrine glands. While the other options mentioned (Adenohypophysis, Islets of Langerhans, and Neurohypophysis) are related to specific parts or functions of the pituitary gland, the term Pituitary Gland itself is commonly used to denote the entire gland as a whole. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
