What gland is found just below the optic chiasma of your brain?

SneakyMole92698., no you're not! Just some things you do not know about. For me, it's all of this awards stuff. I feel it's just a lot of self gratification by a lot of people who have very fragile egos. VERY fragile! I usually depend on the hints for those questions. So don't put yourself down. You are smart enough to be playing this game , aren't you?

SneakyMole92698., Read, learn. IT'S A GAME. Relax and enjoy.

I love how much I learn here and I encourage my kids to play too just because you learn so much random stuff! Plus, it gets you INTERESTED and CURIOUS, which are the biggest motivators for learning!

SneakyMole92698., don’t feel bad. I’ve never skipped a question. I figure I can learn w/o guessing.

SneakyMole92698., don't panic it's only trivia.....

Player #3532789, What it does is produces hormones which control many bodily functions : sex hormones -testosterone in men , and oestrogen in women , growth hormones , follicle stimulating hormone which controls egg production in women , prolactin for breast milk in women (and is apparently involved in sperm production in men ). It produces hydrocortisone, which allows all people to cope with stress . It also produces triggers which control other parts of the endocrine hormonal system such as levothyroxine for the thyroid . This is not a complete list - it mostly represents the medicines I take because my pituitary was cured of a macroadenoma, by radiotherapy which pretty much destroyed it

SneakyMole92698., To be "ignorant" is fine, it simply means that you don't know. It is not anything to do with stupidity. Just enjoy.

Interesting. I have Empty Sella Sydrome and I thought it was actually located at the base of the brain.

SneakyMole92698., what a support system you have. Wish in real time & in the flesh peeps could be this supportive & kind.

SneakyMole92698., no you’re not, you are simply like most of us

Lilibeth, had surgery years ago on my pituitary near optic nerve. I knew this one from personal experience

SQinfoNUTS, instead of coins we could use Xanax

Player #25874027, So does this mean that, for menopausal women, their pituitary gland has gone on strike/gone AWOL? haha 😂

Mario Suedi, what are the coins used for?

Heartland Old Guy, and getting an ongoing education!

good thing some players explained what it does; thank you.

Jew for Yeshua, you and Waldo are my favorite commentors

Player #27756566, You should be getting HRT to replace what the pituitary should produce. (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

Player #2655037, any idea how ignorant you sound when you say drumpf? oh, wait. evidentally it's because you are!

Belugas&PolarBears, but what does it do????

SneakyMole92698., The fact you are here and interested is fabulous. So you got 12 wrong...Your brain will file some of these questions along with the correct answers away and you will be happily surprised when they arise out of the blue some day and you will say..."I know the answer to that". In the meantime enjoy all these great facts coming your way for free. GOD BLESS YOU.

It is much closer to the ear than bridge of the nose
