| Description |
The hypophysis cerebri or pituitary gland lies at the base of the brain below the third ventricle nestled in a ""Turkish saddle"" (sella turcica) of bone that is part of the body of the sphenoid. Lying above the pituitary is a sheet of dura, the diaphragma sellae, that connects the clinoid attachments of the tentorium cerebelli. This is perforated by a hole that allows the infundibular stem or stalk of the neural portion of the gland to connect to the hypothalamus. |
