THE PITUITARY BODY
a. Location. The pituitary body is a
small pea-sized and pea- shaped structure. It is attached to the base of
the brain in the region of the hypothalamus In
addition, it is housed within a hollow of the bony floor of the cranial cavity. This hollow is called the sella turcica
("Turk's saddle").
b. Major Subdivisions. The pituitary
body is actually two glands-- the posterior pituitary gland and
the anterior pituitary gland. Initially separate, these glands join together during development of the
embryo.
