The master gland is also called the pituitary. It's called the master gland because it literally controls all the other glands in the body.

Correct! It is the pituitary gland that is sometimes called the "master" gland of the endocrine system, because it controls the functions of the other endocrine glands.

It use to be said to be the pituitary and in many ways it is true.But it is now know that the Hypothalamus controls the pituitary.So that makes it the real master gland.
