An infundibulum grows ventrally from the diencephalon of the brain, and Rathke's pouch extends dorsally from the roof of the developing mouth, or stomodaeum. The infundibulum remains connected to the floor of the diencephalon, which becomes the hypothalamus, and gives rise to the part of the gland known as the neurohypophysis. (...) Rathke's pouch loses its connection with the stomodaeum in most adult vertebrates and gives rise to the rest of the gland, the adenohypophysis. (...) A well-developed hypophyseal system with functional connections to the hypothalamus is unique to craniates.[well established][VHOG] TAO:0001195 http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu/centraldirectory.aspx?ID=410 BTO:0001787 pars glandularis pars distalis of anterior lobe of pituitary gland AAO:0010542 pars distalis lobi anterioris hypophyseos Wikipedia:Pars_distalis UMLS:C0175322 anterior lobe pars distalis adenohypophysis BIRNLEX:1022 pars distalis (glandula pituitaria) pars glandularis of adenohypophysis pars anterior
