  • Title: Structure of the neurohypophysis and the hypothalamo-hypophysial vascularization in the teleost Channa punctatus Bloch.
    Author: Sathyanesan AG, Jose TM.
    Journal: Z Mikrosk Anat Forsch; 1975; 89(5):824-38. PubMed ID: 1234389.
    Abstract:
    In C. punctatus the median eminence includes the subterminal region of the hypothalamus and the anterior neurohypophysis. It is formed of ependymal, fibrous and reticular layers as in the tetrapods. Primary capillary plexus extends from the subterminal region to the extremity of the anterior neurohypophysis. Only few portal vessels from the hypothalamus enter in the pars distalis. All the components of pituitary including the pars intermedia are irrigated by the secondary plexus formed from the portal vessels emerging out of the anterior neurohypophysis. The neurosecretory axons and the ependymal cells are in close morphological contact with the primary plexus. Several axons have perivascular endings at the median eminence. Some axons were found to be only silver or aldehyde fuchsin positive whereas some others take up both. The silver positive axons were abundant in the pars distalis and the AF positive ones were more concentrated in the pars intermedia with greater accumulation of neurosecretory material.
