Where is the posterior pituitary gland located?
The posterior pituitary is located in a portion of the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica. It is attached to the anterior pituitary gland by the pars intermedia which is a thin layer of endocrine tissue. The posterior pituitary is actually just an extension of the neural tissue that composes the hypothalamus.

The palatine uvula is a conic projection from the posterior edge of the middle of the soft palate, composed of connective tissue containing a number of racemose glands, and some muscular fibers (musculus uvulae).
