Final answer:

The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain in the sella turcica.


Explanation:

The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis or 'master gland,' is located at the base of the brain in the sella turcica, a groove of the sphenoid bone of the skull. It is attached to the hypothalamus and consists of two distinct regions - the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary - that secrete different hormones.
