Anatomically, it is immediately dorsal to the optic chiasma, and the tuber cinereum (to which the infundibular stem of the hypophysis is attached) and the mamillary bodies are portions of the hypothalmus that can be seen on the ventral surface of the brain.
The hypophysis is inferior to the optic chiasm, supeior to an intercavernous venous sinus and the sphenoidal air-sinus (through which it can be approached endonasally), and medial to the cavernous sinus and its associated structures (see fig.
Hypophysial tumors, by causing pressure on the chiasm, may result in visual defects in the temporal part of the visual fields.

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.

It is triangular in section, increases in size as it proceeds backward, and runs downward and backward from the end of the inferior sagittal sinus to the transverse sinus of the opposite side to that into which the superior sagittal sinus is prolonged.
The anterior passes in front of the hypophysis cerebri, the posterior behind it, and they form with the cavernous sinuses a venous circle (circular sinus) around the hypophysis.

The Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal Axis The pituitary gland, or hypophysis cerebri (Gr., hypo 5 under 1 physis 5 growth 1 cerebri 5 of the brain), and the hypothalamus of the brain are very closely associated morphologically and functionally.
Because of its neurosecretory relationships with the hypophysis, the hypothalamus also is the major control center for the hypophysis, which in turn is a central part of the endocrine system because its hormones affect so many other glands and physiological processes.
The hypothalamus of the brain and the hypophysis (pituitary gland) are closely integrated structurally and functionally to form the hypothalamo— hypophyseal axis.

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.
