Definition
English
:
Neural tissue of the
pituitary gland
, also known as the
neurohypophysis
. It consists of the distal AXONS of
neurons
that produce VASOPRESSIN and
OXYTOCIN
in the
SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS
and the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS. These axons
travel
down through the
MEDIAN EMINENCE
, the hypothalamic infundibulum of the PITUITARY STALK, to the posterior lobe of the
pituitary gland.
