Sagittal section of the pituitary gland of a pigeon (HE): overview (2)
The neurohypophysis consists of a pars nervosa or neural lobe (lobus nervosus), infundibulum and median eminence (eminentia mediana)
The infundibulum of the neurohypophysis together with the pars tuberalis of the adenohypophysis form the hypophysial stalk. The third ventricle continues in the infundibulum as a recessus infundibularis (recessus neurohypophysialis, NAA).
