The Location of the Pituitary
The pituitary gland is housed in a protective bony cavity called the
sella turcica
(or Turkish saddle) located at the base of the skull in a highly vascularized area of the brain. Blood is supplied from branches of the internal carotid artery and venous blood supplied through a venous portal system originating from the hypothalamus. This relationship between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland will be explored in greater detail.
