Medial sagittal illustration of the brain highlighting the hypophysis (pituitary gland, PG) and the optic chiasm (OC). The PG is depicted as an endocrine organ suspended from the hypothalamus via the infundibulum, situated at the base of the brain within the cranial cavity, where it secretes trophic hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The OC is shown anterior to the pituitary as a decussating white-matter tract of retinal axons enabling binocular vision. In neuroanatomy and endocrinology, these structures form a hierarchy within the central nervous system.
