The part of the brain which directly interacts with the endocrine system via the pituitary gland is the _____.

(a) cerebellum

(b) hypothalamus

(c) thalamus

(d) cerebrum

I’m leaning towards B

Once again, your inclination is correct! "B" Hypothalamus is the answer. This is because the pituitary gland releases hormones that control many of the endocrine system's functions. The pituitary gland releases hormones when signaled by the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland has numerous functions which are performed by its’ two parts. Pituitary’s two separate parts are essential to the production of many hormones but, their function in relation to the hypothalamus and endocrine system vary greatly.

Hope this helps
