, just below the hypothalamus, kept inside the sella turcica, a depression of the frontal bone.
The neurohypophysis is made up of a collection of axons coming from the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, and of pituicitis; it is very different from the anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis): unlike the latter, in fact, it is not a true gland and precisely, but rather the extension of the hypothalamus.
The neurohypophysis has the task of storing and releasing in the blood vasopressin and oxytocin, two hormones secreted by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus.
