Good morning and welcome to your Wednesday dose of Your Daily Meds. Bonus Review: Why is it that the posterior pituitary has neural connections with the hypothalamus, but the anterior pituitary has vascular connections with the hypothalamus? Answer: Well the posterior pituitary is part of the brain, so develops with the expected neural connections. The anterior pituitary develops from Rathke’s Pouch, an ectodermal outpouching from the roof of the oral cavity, and so develops vascular connections with the hypothalamus.
