Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract is a bundle of nerve fibers that runs from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary gland, and it is partly contained within the infundibulum (the stalk that connects the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus). It does not conduct aldosterone or synthesize prolactin.
