{"Image ImageDescription": "^BPituitary gland. ^bComputer-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a healthy human brain seen in side view, with the ^Ipituitary^i gland highlighted (green). At centre, positioned at eye- level below the cerebral folds of the brain, is the pea-sized ^Ipituitary^i gland. It is the master endocrine gland in the body. ^IPituitary^i hormones exert direct action on body organs (such as the kidney and mammary glands), as well as regulating hormone secretion of other endocrine glands of the body (such as the thyroid, ovary and testes). The ^Ipituitary^i gland is located close to the brain because its actions are controlled by the central nervous system.", "Image XResolution": "72", "Image YResolution": "72", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "Science Photo Library"}
