The pituitary gland produces something called trophic hormones. What that means is that it makes hormones, which are chemical messengers that control other glands.
The hypothalamus is the gland that stimulates the pituitary gland to release hormones. It does this by secreting releasing and inhibitory hormones that control the pituitary's hormone production.
The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland through the release of hypothalamic-releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones. These hormones travel through a network of blood vessels to the pituitary gland and stimulate or inhibit the release of various hormones from the pituitary. This way, the hypothalamus regulates the endocrine functions of the pituitary gland.
Neurosecretary cells respond to neural control. When they are stimulated they release inhibiting hormones, as well as others. The pituitary gland produces and releases human growth hormone (hGH). In order to control the amount of hormone released, the endocrine system has a hormonal control system, neural control system, and a negative and positive feedback system. If the hypothalamus decides that the pituitary is putting out too much hGH, it uses neural control via the neurosecretory cells to release human growth hormone inhibiting factor (hGHIF) through hormonal control slows down the production in the pituitary.
Releasing hormones are sent from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary by way of a special circulatory pathway called the hypophyseal portal system. This system allows releasing hormones to reach the anterior pituitary quickly and directly, regulating the release of various hormones from the pituitary gland.

The master of the anterior pituitary gland is the hypothalamus. It secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that control the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.

Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control(regulate) growth.
No, the pituitary gland cannot function without the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus secretes hormones that control the release of hormones from the pituitary gland, so they work together closely to regulate various bodily functions.
it sends messages to and from the brain. It secretes hormones that control the pituitary gland which secrete the hormones that control the endrocrine glands. Thus, the reason the pituitary gland was thought to be the "master gland".
