 Anterior pituitary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adenohypophysis is a pea-size gland anterior to the neurohypophysis, caudal to the hypothalamus, and sits in the medial aspect of the brain.
The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis) comprises the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system.
Its blood supply is the hypophyseal artery, and it secretes hormones into the hypophyseal vein.

Following the expression pattern of prl and pomc during development, we show that no pituitary-specific invagination equivalent to Rathke's pouch formation takes place.
The phenotypes are very similar to those obtained upon pituitary-specific inactivation or overexpression of Shh in mouse embryo, suggesting that the role of Shh during pituitary development has been largely conserved between fish and mice, despite the different modes of pituitary formation in the two vertebrate classes.

Some definitions may be helpful at this point to understand some of the terms used to describe the anatomy of the pituitary:
The adenohypophysis derives from an invagination of oral ectoderm known as Rathke’s pouch while the neurohypophysis is formed as a downgrowth from the floor of the diencephalon of the brain (neural ectoderm).

The key point to remember here is that anything put into the "upstream" end of the portal system in the neurohypophysis is immediately transported to the adenohypophysis.
The neurohypophysis has a lumen, and that lumen is continuous with the lumen of the brain's third ventricle.
The mature adenohypophysis has several distinct parts: the cranial pars distalis, the pars intermedia, which is physically associated with the neural rudiment, and the pars tuberalis, which comes to form a sort of sleeve-like covering of the stalk from which the neural portion is dependent.

 Adenohypophysial dopamine content and prolactin secretion in the aged male and female rat.
The time course for recovery of serum PRL levels and anterior pituitary DA contents after both the acute and chronic haloperidol treatment is of longer duration in the aged rat, which is consistent with a decreased rate of clearance of haloperidol in these animals.
The actions of acute and chronically administered haloperidol are reversible, with the reduced DA content of the adenohypophysis and the elevated serum concentrations of PRL returning to respective pretreatment levels in both young and aged rats once treatment stops.
All of these treatments increased serum PRL levels and reduced DA concentrations in the adenohypophysis of both young and aged rats.

It has been considered that lymphocytic hypophysitis is confined to the adenohypophysis sparing the neurohypophysis, and that diabetes insipidus is not a clinical feature of the disorder.

Triggered by ACTH from the adenohypophysis (triggered by corticotropic releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, triggered by the brain's perception of danger, stress, adverse conditions).
For this reason, the endocrine system's effects are generally somewhat slower to induce, and are longer lasting than those produced by nervous stimulation.

 Merck Vet. Edition - The Pituitary Gland : Introduction
Secretory cells in the adenohypophysis are often subdivided into chromophils (acidophils, basophils) and chromophobes based on interaction of the secretory granules with pH-dependent histochemical stains.
For most pituitary tropic hormones, negative feedback control is accomplished by a feedback loop involving the blood concentration of the hormone produced by the target endocrine gland (eg, thyroid gland, adrenal cortex, ovary, and testis).
These releasing hormones are conveyed by the hypophyseal portal system to specific cells in the adenohypophysis, where they stimulate the rapid release of preformed tropic hormones.

The area of the future neurohypophysis, known as the infundibular recess of the third ventricle, may be indirectly indicated by the ectodermal primordium of the adenohypophysis (Rathke’s pouch) which is situated at the summit of the buccopharyngeal membrane.
In some embryos it remains in contact with the adenohypophysis, whereas in others the two are separated by mesenchyme.
The outgrowth of the neurohypophysis at this stage is becoming marked in 43% of embryos studied by Müller F., O’Rahilly R., (1989a) and the infundibular recess extends into the outgrowth.
