The ependymal cells of both dorsal and ventral walls lining the lumen of the neurohypophysis of the hagfish, Eptatretus burgeri , absorb peroxidase injected into the third ventricle. Peroxidase diffuses rapidly into the connective tissue separating the neurohypophysis from the adenohypophysis, and also into the connective tissue located between the cell nests of the adenohypophysis.
