The median eminence is only occasionally included as part of the posterior pituitary.

The median eminence is a part of the hypothalamus from which regulatory hormones are released.

The peptides released at the median eminence enter the primary plexus capillaries.

The major cell type that makes up the median eminence are specialized ependymal cells known as tanycytes.

The tanycytes of the median eminence are often found along the fenestrated peripheral capillaries.

In some of the fetuses portal capillary loops had penetrated into the median eminence.

They are tightly packed on the capillaries, forming a seal between the third ventricle and the median eminence.

Neuroendocrine neurons in the hypothalamus project axons to the median eminence, at the base of the brain.

The median eminence is part of the inferior boundary for the hypothalamus part of the human brain.

The median eminence is one of the seven areas of the brain devoid of a blood-brain barrier.

The median eminence is rich in fenestrated capillaries, allowing for the passage of proteins and neurohormones.

Some of these sites are the sites of neurosecretion - the neurohypophysis and the median eminence.

The upper hypophyseal arteries form the primary capillary plexus that supplies blood to the median eminence.

Other hormones secreted from the median eminence include vasopressin, oxytocin, neurotensin and orexin.

GnRH is secreted in the hypophysial portal bloodstream at the median eminence.

Parvocellular neurons from the hypothalamus terminate in the median eminence of the hypothalamus.

CRH and vasopressin are released from neurosecretory nerve terminals at the median eminence.

Neuroendocrine neurons with nerve endings in the median eminence release dopamine into the hypophysial portal blood.

More specifically, the median eminence allows for the transport of neurohormones between the CSF and the peripheral blood supply.

The median eminence (ME) is located in the inferior portion of the hypothalamus and is ventral to the third ventricle.

Neuronal projections of GnRH neurons actually end at the median eminence, allowing for its release into the portal blood system.

These neurons project to the median eminence, where somatostatin is released from neurosecretory nerve endings into the hypothalamo-hypophysial system through neuron axons.

These two neuronal systems project axons to the median eminence, where they release their peptides into portal blood vessels for transport to the anterior pituitary.

Like the TIDA neurons, these neurons have nerve endings in the median eminence.

Peptides released near the median eminence from hypothalamic nuclei , are transported to the anterior pituitary, where they apply their physiologic effects.
