| The posterior portion of the hypothalamus, called the median eminence, contains the nerve endings of many neurosecretory cells, which run down through the infundibular stalk into the pituitary gland. |
| It terminates blindly at the very spot where the infundibular tube terminates blindly and the notochord ends. |
| The granules are carried through the axons that extend through the infundibular stalk and end in and form the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. |
| Simultaneous contraction of the meridional and radial muscles probably flattens the infundibular surface and bends the rim of the infundibulum towards the acetabulum. |
| Its narrowing is also called infundibular stenosis. |
| These cusps are spoken of as septal, marginal and infundibular, from their position. |
