A) Do hypophyseal veins connect through the nose? There must be a way for the blood to go through this area (Hypophyseal fossa) to the nose, not all the time, but some times.
B) Any 3D dimensions specific to Hypophyseal fossa?
Ans a) The hypophyseal veins are the veins which helps in establishing a direct connection between hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary lobe. The hormones which are released from the hypothalamus to these veins. The hypophyseal portal system consists of veins that connects to capillary beds which are located in the lower hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary. The blood drains into the nose through the hypophyseal fossa through the veins because the sphenoid sinus within the nasal cavity is separated from hypophyseal fossa with help of only thin bone. Hence it is through this thin shelve of bone that the blood is drained into the hypophyseal fossa and into the nasal cavity.
