Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The posterior pituitary gland is formed by an evagination (outpocketing) from the floor of the diencephalon during embryonic development. The anterior pituitary gland is formed from an invagination (inward folding) of oral ectoderm. The thyroid gland originates from the floor of the pharynx and migrates downwards, while the adrenal glands develop from the mesoderm. The pancreas develops from two buds that arise from the endodermal lining of the foregut.
