  XI. Splanchnology. 4d. The Hypophysis Cerebri. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
Enlargement of the hypophysis and of the cavity of the sella turcica are found in the rare disease acromegaly, which is characterized by gradual enlargement of the face, hands, and feet, with headache and often a peculiar type of blindness.
This blindness is due to the pressure of the enlarging hypophysis on the optic chiasma (Fig.
1182), is the rudiment of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis; it extends upward in front of the cephalic end of the notochord and the remnant of the buccopharyngeal membrane, and comes into contact with the under surface of the fore-brain.

 Physiology or Medicine 1947 - Presentation Speech
The hypophysis, or the pituitary gland, is a small secreting gland at the base of the brain, where it lies sunk in a bony hollow in the most sheltered spot in the whole body.
By means of its hormones the hypophysis controls the thyroid, the sex glands and the cortex of the suprarenal glands; it regulates the formation of milk and the growth of the whole body.
Thus the hormone of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis was clearly antagonistic to the hormone of the pancreas, insulin.

 Vladislav N. Romanov. Neural complex of tunicates in relation to vertebrate hypophysis.
In order to establish a reliable homology between the neural complex of tunicates and the hypophysis of vertebrates, it is necessary to take into account their topographic relations with the brain, their function, and embryogenetic origin.
After separation of the hypophysial rudiment from the nerve tube, a definitive ganglion is formed by local proliferation of its posterior dorsal part.
As is shown by data on embryology of Cyclostomata, the origin of the anterior lobe of hypophysis in lampreys (Larsen and Rothwell, 1972) and myxines (Fernholm, 1965) is associated with the olfactory organ.

The axons convey both nerve impulses and hormones (chemical messengers) to the hypophysis cerebri or pituitary gland which is like a small knob at the narrow end of the funnel-shaped infundibulum.
Hypophysis cerebri is a better name than pituitary because pituitary is associated with phlegm (Latin pituita) owing to the misconceptions of the early anatomists.
The hypophysis is so important because its hormones which are secreted into the blood affect a number of other so-called endocrine glands (for example the thyroid; the adrenals).

From these data, it was concluded that pectic substances and b-glucan are the active lactogenic compounds existing in plants, and that their effects are mediated through the secretion of PRL and possibly of GH and cortisol.
hypophysis were harvested immediately after the sacrifice and transported to the laboratory in culture medium.
Fragments of hypophysis were incubated for the sequential in culture media with various concentrations of pectic acid (25-400 mg/ml).

It is good practice to add 10% to these calculated quantities of dried hypophysis to compensate for the losses occurring during the injections.
If you know the average weight of one dried hypophysis (about 2.5-3 mg), you may then easily calculate how many hypophysis glands are necessary in each case.
One injection of 1.5 ml of hypophysis extract is given to each fish, which corresponds to a dose of 2 mg dry hypophysis per kilogram live weight (4).

Definition: The hypophysis, also known as the pituitary gland, hangs from the hypothalamus behind the optic nerve chiasma, or crossing.
Structure: The hypophysis is a pea-sized organ connected to the hypothalamus above.
It is enclosed in a network of veins that brings from the hypothalamus, chemicals called releasing and inhibiting hormones for regulating the secretory cells of the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis).

Fountain of Youth has been proven in Live Cell Hypophysis Implantation Therapy Master gland implant for internal rejuvenation, which boosts your own hypothalamus thus stabilizing and energizing every glandular system.
The usage of a complete gland instead of a mixture of cells allows, once the immunicalogical obstacle is overcome, the integration of the implant into the hypothalamus feedback of the host because there is a preservation of structures.
Basically this subcutaneous implantation of live Hypophysis is obtained from laboratory and genetically controlled two month old piglets in order to restore the hormonal balances of the human body.

An essential feature of the endocrine glands is the manner in which the secretory activity is regulated by a feedback mechanism.
As an example, the beta cell of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the secretion of certain hormones from the adrenal cortex.
As the level of adrenal cortical hormones rises in the blood stream, the secretion of ACTH is inhibited.
