  • This is the back of the neurohypophysis where oxytocin and vasopressin store. (healthbeautyidea.com)
  • Along with its carrier protein, neurophysin 2, vasopressin is packaged into neurosecretory vesicles and transported axonally to the nerve endings in the neurohypophysis where it is either stored or secreted into the bloodstream. (sysy.com)
  • Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst. (bvsalud.org)

Axons1
  • The cellular composition of the neurohypophysis is that of specialized glial cells (pituicytes) together with their axons. (ajnr.org)
Infundibulum1

  • neurohypophysis is formed by development of pars nervosa, infundibular stem, and median eminence. (medscape.com)
  • The neurohypophysis develops from the differentiation of neural ectoderm into the pars nervosa, the infundibular stem, and the median eminence. (medscape.com)
Hormone1

Ectopic neurohypophysis4
  • Clinical features were consistent with JBTS already from infancy, yet the syndrome was not suspected before cerebral MRI later in childhood showed the characteristic molar tooth sign and ectopic neurohypophysis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We describe for the first time ectopic neurohypophysis and SUDEP in JBTS23, expanding the phenotype of this condition and raising the attention on the possible severity of the epilepsy in this disease. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Background and Aims Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is characterized by the presence of a thin or absent pituitary stalk in association with a hypoplastic or aplastic anterior pituitary or an ectopic neurohypophysis [1,2]. (jams.pub)
  • MRI examination indicated anterior pituitary hypoplasia, absence of pituitary stalk and ectopic neurohypophysis. (jams.pub)
Oxytocin2
  • The posterior lobe, the neurohypophysis, produces and secretes 2 hormones: antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. (medscape.com)
