the apical portion of the tubular structure extending from the hypothalamus to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
A short stalk connecting the pituitary with the brain. Axons of secretory cells in the floor of the diencephalon traverse the infundibulum and terminate in the neurohypophysis.[TAO]
infundibular stalk
infundibulum of neurohypophysis
hypophyseal stalk
infundibular stem of neurohypophysis
infundibulum of posterior lobe of pituitary gland
infundibulum hypophysis
neurohypophysis infundibulum
tuberal part of hypophysis
infundibulum
infundibulum of pituitary gland
pituitary infundibular stalk
infundibular stem
infundibulum (lobus posterior) (glandula pituitaria)
hypophyseal infundibulum
tuberal part of the hypophysis
pars tuberalis (hypophysis)
hypophysial stalk
infundibulum neurohypophyseos
infundibulum of posterior lobe of pituitary gland
infundibulum of hypothalamus
It (the hypophysis) develops embryonically in all vertebrates from two ectodermal evaginations that meet and unite. An infundibulum grows ventrally from the diencephalon of the brain, and Rathke's pouch extends dorsally from the roof of the developing mouth, or stomodaeum. The infundibulum remains connected to the floor of the diencephalon, which becomes the hypothalamus, and gives rise to the part of the gland known as the neurohypophysis. (...) Rathke's pouch loses its connection with the stomodaeum in most adult vertebrates and gives rise to the rest of the gland, the adenohypophysis. (...) A well-developed hypophyseal system with functional connections to the hypothalamus is unique to craniates.[well established][VHOG]
