Can you describe the anatomical location of the pituitary gland in the human body?

The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, just beneath the hypothalamus. It sits in a small, bony cavity called the sella turcica within the sphenoid bone, near the center of the skull. The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus by a slender stalk called the infundibulum. This close connection allows the hypothalamus to regulate the pituitary gland’s release of hormones.
