OBJECTIVESAt the end of the lecture, students should be able to:
Describe the position of the pituitary gland. List the structures related to the pituitary
gland. Differentiate between the lobes of the gland. Describe the blood supply of pituitary gland &
the hypophyseal portal system.

§ Introduction
1. The “master gland”— controls three other endocrine glands
2. Better to think of the pituitary gland as the relay center—
3. Its function covers both endocrine target glands and nonendocrine target glands

PITUITARY GLAND(HYPOPHYSIS CEREBRI)
It is a small oval structure of 1 cm in diameter.It doubles its size during pregnancy.

PITUITARY GLAND(POSITION)
It lies in the hypophyseal fossa of the body of sphenoid bone, between optic chiasma (anteriorly) & mamillary bodies (posteriorly).

PITUITARY GLAND(POSITION)
A fold of dura mater (Diaphragma sellae) covers the pituitary gland & has an opening for passage of infundibulum (pituitary stalk) connecting the gland to hypothalamus.
Infundibulum

SUBDIVISIONS OF PITUITARY GLAND
The gland is subdivided into:
1) Anterior lobe (adenohypophysis): true gland, secretes hormones
2) Posterior lobe (neurohypophysis): connected to hypothalamus through hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract, stores hormones secreted by hypothalamic nuclei
Hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract
![Page 13: Anatomy of pituitary gland](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/588af11f1a28abf8548b4d67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

BLOOD SUPPLY OF PITUITARY GLAND
ARTERIES: Superior & inferior hypophyseal arteries (branches of internal carotid artery)
VEINS: hypophyseal veins drain into cavernous sinuses.
Cavernous sinuses

ARTERIES OF PITUITARY GLAND
The inferior hypophyseal: supplies posterior lobe of pituitary gland.The superior hypophyseal: supplies infundibulum & forms a capillary network from which vessels pass downward & form sinusoids into the anterior lobe of pituitary gland (hypophyseal portal system).

ANTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY
Hormone-releasing & inhibiting factors produced by hypothalamus use hypophyseal portal system of vessels to reach the anterior lobe of pituitary gland
Hypophyseal portalsystem
![Page 18: Anatomy of pituitary gland](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/588af11f1a28abf8548b4d67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Anterior pituitary Anterior pituitary: connected to the
hypothalamus by hypothalmoanterior pituitary portal vessels.
The anterior pituitary produces six peptide hormones: prolactin, growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH).
![Page 19: Anatomy of pituitary gland](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/588af11f1a28abf8548b4d67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) 2. LH (luteinizing hormone)The above two are called gonadotropins3. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone,
thyrotropin)4. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)5. GH (growth hormone; somatotropin or
somatotropic hormone) 6. PRL (prolactin) Tropic (trophic) hormones-- target
other endocrine glands to release their own hormones;

grow up to 8 ft. tall and > 300 lbs
ACROMEGALY IN ADULTS enlarged feet/hands,

§ Glycoprotein hormone family– TSH, FSH, LH
1. TSH– to stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormone
2. FSH & LH– important for the function of the testes and the ovaries
FSH– growth of ovarian follicles and formation of sperm
LH (in women)– induce ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum; stimulate the ovarian production of estrogen and progesterone
LH (in men)– stimulates the production of Testosterone; what cells?

POSTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY
Axons of supraoptic & paraventricular cells of hypothalamus send their secretion (neurosecretion) to posterior lobe of pituitary gland through hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract
