:
A collection of
NEURONS
, tracts of
NERVE FIBERS
, endocrine
tissue
, and
blood vessels
in the
HYPOTHALAMUS
and the
PITUITARY GLAND
. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (

) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various
PITUITARY HORMONES
into the systemic circulation to maintain
HOMEOSTASIS.
