| Description: | The nuclei seen in this section of the neurohypophysis belong to the
supportive cells. The cell bodies of the unmyelineated neurosecretory
cells are located in the hyopthalamus. ADH and oxytocin are sent down
the nerves via axonal transport. The secretory products sometimes
accumulate at the termination of the fibers and are referred to as
Herring bodies. These appear as small "globs" of eosinophilic material.
