There is no gland located in the forehead itself. However, the pituitary gland, while not in the forehead, is located deep within the skull.
The pituitary gland is a crucial part of the endocrine system. Here's what the reference says about its location:
- The pituitary gland rests within a hollowed-out area of the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica.
- The pituitary gland sits below the optic chiasm.
- The pituitary gland is located between the internal carotid arteries.
While not in the forehead, understanding the location of the pituitary gland and its proximity to other important structures in the head is important.
