pituitary gland

Dendrobium infundibulum was created in 1859.

The infundibulum is a funnel-shaped structure at the top of the chickens oviduct. When a follicle ruptures and drops an ovum it lands in the infundibulum. This happens shortly after ovulation. The infundibulum captures the mature ovum and while in the infundibulum, the egg is fertilized if sperm is available. It is while in the infundibulum that the very first layer of albumen is deposited. The infundibulum holds the roosters sperm sac which can supply the germinal disk for each ovum for as much as 10 to 14 days.

yeah the infundibulum connects the hypothalamus and the neurohypophysis

The infundibulum connects the hypothalamus of the brain to the pituitary gland.
