Protected by the sella turcica, this structure is attached at the infundibular process and the median eminence.
Protected by the sella turcica, this structure is attached at the infundibular process and the median eminence. Its pars intermedia produces melanocyte-stimulating hormone, but is not a fully developed lobe in humans. Its functions are sometimes mimicked by small-cell lung cancers, leading to conditions like hyponatremia from overproduction of vasopressin. Also known as the neurohypophysis due to its location beneath the hypothalamus, for ten points, name this pea-sized structure with anterior and posterior lobes that is responsible for the release of hormones such as growth hormone.
