An alternative spelling variant of adenohypophyseal, relating to the anterior pituitary gland.
A spelling variation where '-eal' and '-ial' are both used to form the adjective from 'adenohypophysis'. Both forms are encountered in medical literature, with '-eal' being slightly more common in modern usage.
Medical terminology sometimes lets both spellings survive side-by-side like competing species—you'll see papers from the 1950s using '-ial' and modern textbooks using '-eal,' and neither is wrong.
