The Hypophyseal portal system is a blood system of vessels in the brain that connects the hypothalamus with the anterior pituitary. Its main function is the transport and exchange of hormones to allow a fast communication between both glands. The fenestrae structure of the hypophyseal portal system needs only a small amount of hormones to tolerate a rapid exchange between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland to stimulate an accurate effect in the respective target organs in the body.
