The sella turcica (which means "Turkish Saddle") is a part of the basis of the cranium. In this bony formation are two main structures, namele the chiasma opticum, which is where the nerves from the eyes containing visual information cross-over.
The other structure located in sella turcica is the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland.

The Sella turcica is found on the surface of the sphenoid bone, at the base of the skull. It's where we find the pituitary gland.
In the sphenoid bone in the middle of the skull. It is shaped like a Turkish saddle, hence the name and it houses the pituitary gland, the most protected gland in the body.
Sphenoid Bone. Along the midline within the cranial cavity, a portion of the sphenoid bone indents to form the "saddle-shaped" Sella Turcica. The pituitary gland occupies this depression. The Sphenoid bone also contains two sphenoidal sinuses.
The infundibulum is the structure that connects the pituitary gland to the rest of the brain. Although sufficient support of the pituitary gland is provided by the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone.
contains the pituitary glandThe Sella Turcica is located on the superior surface of the Sphenoid Bone. The saddle shaped prominence is called the sella turcica. The seat of the saddle is called the hypophyseal fossa which forms the enclosure for the pituitary gland.

The pituitary gland sits in a bony structure in the skull known as the sella turcica. The sella turcica, also known as "Turk's Saddle", is a depression in the sphenoid bone.
