Description
Summary:ACCORDING to Mazzi 1 , Bargmann 2 , and Scharrer 3 the diencephalic-neurohypophysis system of Petromyzontes , in principle, corresponds to that of the gnatho-stomous vertebrates. The Gomori-positive neuro-secretory material which originates in one part of the cells of the nucleus preopticus continues alongside the fibres of the tractus preopticus-hypophyseus into the infundibulum. The enlarged caudal part of the infundibulum—which is found over the meta-adeno-hypophysis—is named ‘neurohypophysis’ 2 . Kramer and Schreuers 4 observed that the neurosecretory material which is stored up during the larval stage disappears during and after metamorphosis ( Lampetra planeri ).
