The Adenohypophysis and the Neurohypophysis are separatley vascularised.
The adenohypophysis and the neurohypophysis are separatley vascularised. The '''neurohypophysis''' is supplied by small branches of the ''internal carotid'' (inferior hypophyseal artery) and the ''arterial circle'' of the brain (Circle of Willis). The '''adenohypophysis''' is supplied by the ''superior hypohyseal artery''. Drainage is via the ''cavernous sinus''.
