Anterior osteophytes are bone spurs that develop on the front, or anterior aspect, of the vertebrae.They appear to be more common in the cervical spine (neck) than in other spinal segments, as the neck is considerably more prone to degenerative conditions that contribute to osteophyte formation.nterior osteophytes develop on the front side of the vertebrae, largely because the spineâs structure allows the anterior side to compress further than the posterior.
1 The anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis is a classical gland composed predominantly of cells that secrete protein hormones. 2  The posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis is not a separate organ, but an extension of the hypothalamus.hese hypothalamic hormones reach the anterior pituitary through the following route: 1  A branch of the hypophyseal artery ramifies into a capillary bed in the lower hypothalamus, and hypothalmic hormones destined for the anterior pituitary are secreted into that capillary blood.
