The pituitary gland is important because it will be responsible for getting the messages that may come from the brain. At the same time, it will be able to produce the hormones that the body would need so that the whole body will function properly. The body will have other hormone-producing glands.
The main goal of the pituitary gland is to make sure that they will be stimulated so that just the right amount of hormones will be produced. If this gland would be removed from the body, it will be harder for the endocrine system to function, and a person would need to undergo hormone replacement therapy in order to survive.
