Hypothalamo-hypophysial neurosecretory and vascular system of the teleost Labeo rohita (Ham.). 1977

T M Jose, and A G Sathyanesan

The paired nucleus preopticus (NPO) lying on either side of the III ventricle gives rise to the left and right main neurosecretory tracts which proceed posteroventrally towards the pituitary and give rise to several finer axons which ramify the infundibular floor adjacent to the pituitary. The bulk of the neurosecretory tracts enter the pars intermedia and few finer ones are seen among the pars distalis. The ventromedian component of the nucleus lateralis tuberis (NLT) is aldehyde fuchsin (AF) positive whereas the anterolateral neurons are AF negative. The internal carotid artery gives rise to the hypophysial and ventral hypothalamic arteries. The ventral hypothalamic artery gives rise to the primary capillary plexus at the infundibular floor region adjacent to the pituitary stalk. Portal vessels formed from this plexus largely irrigate the adenohypophysis. The hypophysial artery enters the neurohypophysis and gives rise to typical teleostean type neuradenointerface vasculature. Morphological contact between the neurosecretory axons and primary capillary plexus at the floor of the infundibulum suggests the possibility of at least some active principles entering the blood vessels. Structurally L. rohita exhibited both tetrapodean and teleostean type of hypothalamo-hypophysial vasculature. Morphological evidences suggest a direct neuroglandular and an indirect neurovasculoglandular pathways of hypothalamic control of hypophysis in L. rohita.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System 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 (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

D005399 Fishes A group of cold-blooded, aquatic vertebrates having gills, fins, a cartilaginous or bony endoskeleton, and elongated bodies covered with scales.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
