What gland releases posterior pituitary?

The posterior pituitary consists mainly of neuronal projections (axons) extending from thesupraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. These axons release peptide hormones into the capillaries of the hypophyseal circulation. In addition to axons, the posterior pituitaryalso contains pituicytes, specialized glial cells resembling astrocytes.Classification of the posterior pituitary varies, but most sources include the three regions below:Pars nervosaAlso called the neural lobe or posterior lobe, this region constitutes the majority of the posterior pituitary, and is sometimes (incorrectly) considered synonymous with it. Notable features include Herring bodies and pituicytes.[2]Infundibular stalkAlso known as the infundibulum or pituitary stalk, the infundibular stalk bridges the hypothalamic and hypophyseal systems.Median eminenceThis is only occasionally included as part of the posterior pituitary. Other sources specifically exclude it from the pituitary.[3]A few sources include the pars intermedia as part of the posterior lobe, but this is a minority view. It is based upon the gross anatomical separation of the posterior and anterior pituitary along the cystic remnants of Rathke's pouch, causing the pars intermedia to remain attached to the neurohypophysis.


What is is the structure of a lean-to greenhouse?

A lean-to greenhouse is typically attached to an existing structure, such as a house or a wall. It has a single slope roof that slants downwards from the attached structure, providing support and shelter for growing plants.

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.

What is the difference between a built in garage and attached garage?

An attached garage is attached to a structure (such as home) by a common wall or shared wall with another attached structure such as a covered porch, deck or breezeway.

If an attached garage has area over it that is used for an office, living, storage, etc., it is not accessible from within the main structure or home. If it is, it's a built-in garage.
