The sella turcica latin for turkish seat is a saddle shaped depression in the body of the sphenoid bone of the human skull and of the skulls of other hominids including chimpanzees orangutans and gorillas it serves as a cephalometric landmark the pituitary gland or hypophysis is located within the most inferior aspect of the sella turcica the hypophyseal fossa.
