I believe your understanding ofhe blood/brain barrier is slightly flawed. It is created by the type of blood vessels that supply the brain being largely impermeable, the entire brain isn't kept away form the blood by a barrier there are blood vessels all over it. The vessels that supply the pituitary are far more permable than the ones that suppy the cortex. This is because these vessels must collect the hrmones produced by the gland. In short the answer to yu question is sort of outside but in reality it doens work like that.
