Through which posterior pituitary and hypothalamus connected

1 answer

The posterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus are connected through a specialized structure called the infundibulum or pituitary stalk. The hypothalamus produces neurohormones that are transported down the nerve fibers of the infundibulum and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. When stimulated, these stored neurohormones are released into the bloodstream for systemic circulation.
