Pituatory gland
What is erosion of the Pituitary fossa in human skull and why it is caused?
The pituitary fossa is that part of the skull that lies beneath the pituitary gland. Erosion, or thinning, of this bone is a common result of a variety of health conditions. There are a number of small cavities in this region, so if any swelling occurs in this region then there is a large pressure build up, which can cause the fossa to be eroded. Two examples of conditions that might cause erosion of the fossa include a pituitary tumour or nasal polyps.
What organ is located in the hypophyseal fossa of the sphenoid bone?
pituitary gland
Why is an mri of the brain done in a patient with pituitary diabetes insipidus?

What is the site of the sella turcica?
The sella turcica is located on the sphenoid bone, specifically within the body of the sphenoid bone called the "hypophysial fossa" or "pituitary fossa." It is a saddle-shaped depression where the pituitary gland sits within the skull.
What structure connects the pituitary gland to the brain?
In vertebrate anatomy the pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5 g (0.02 oz.), in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, and rests in a small, bony cavity (sella turcica) covered by a dural fold (diaphragma sellae). The pituitary is functionally connected to the hypothalamus by the median eminence via a small tube called the infundibular stem (Pituitary Stalk). The pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland secretes six hormones that regulate homeostasis.
The pituitary gland rests on what structure of which bone?
The pituitary gland rests on a bony structure called the sella turcica, which is located in a cavity at the base of the skull known as the sphenoid bone.
Where can a Pituitary gland tumor be located?

The pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the brain.
What is the function of the sella turcica?
You have the very important gland that is placed in the Sella tursica or pituitary fossa. That is pituitary gland. This depression in present in spenoid bone. The Sella tursica is covered by inner layer of the dura matter except for a small opening meant for pituitary stalk.
