    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_pituitary

    The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is a major organ of the endocrine system.The anterior pituitary is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) which, in humans, is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus.

  3. Rathke's pouch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathke's_pouch

    The pouch eventually loses its connection with the pharynx giving rise to the anterior pituitary. The anterior wall of Rathke's pouch proliferates, filling most of the pouch to form pars distalis and pars tuberalis. The posterior wall forms pars intermedia. In some organisms, the proliferating anterior wall does not fully occupy Rathke's pouch ...

    Final Structural Differentiation The pituitary gland achieves its final form, including the complete separation of anterior and posterior lobes, by the end of the first trimester The gland remains connected to the hypothalamus by the pituitary stalk, allowing it to integrate signals from the brain and regulate various endocrine functions in the ...

    The pituitary gland is formed within the rostral neural plate. The Rathke's pouch, a cavity of ectodermal cells of the oropharynx, forms between the fourth and fifth week of gestation [26] and upon full development, it gives rise to the anterior pituitary gland. [27] By seven weeks of gestation, the anterior pituitary vascular system begins to ...

    The craniopharyngeal canal is a human anatomical feature sometimes found in the sphenoid bone opening to the sella turcica.It is a canal (a passage or channel) sometimes found extending from the anterior part of the fossa hypophyseos of the sphenoid bone to the under surface of the skull, and marks the original position of Rathke's pouch; while at the junction of the septum of the nose with ...

    An attempt to unify these functions under a single framework was conducted in the 'From where to what' model of language evolution [203] [204] In accordance with this model, each function of the ADS indicates of a different intermediate phase in the evolution of language. The roles of sound localization and integration of sound location with ...

  9. Stomodeum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomodeum

    The mouth is developed partly from the stomodeum, and partly from the floor of the anterior portion of the fore-gut.. By the growth of the head end of the embryo, and the formation of the cephalic flexure, the pericardial area and the buccopharyngeal membrane come to lie on the ventral surface of the embryo.
