Feedback:
The hypothalamus gland is called the master gland of the neuroendocrine system because it regulates both nervous and endocrine responses to internal and external stimuli. There is more to the hypothalamus than just its stimulation of the pituitary gland or its production of releasing hormones that leads it to be considered the master gland. The neuroendocrine system combines the nervous and endocrine systems to work closely together to maintain regulatory control and homeostasis in the body.
