The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the anatomical structure known as "pars nervosa" and its association with other organs. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided likely include various glands or parts of the endocrine system. We need to determine which of these contains the pars nervosa. 3. **Recalling Anatomical Knowledge**: The pars nervosa is known to be a part of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland itself is divided into two main parts: the adenohypophysis (anterior lobe) and the neurohypophysis (posterior lobe). 4. **Defining the Parts of the Pituitary Gland**: - **Adenohypophysis**: This is the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, which includes the pars distalis (anterior lobe) and pars intermedia (middle lobe). - **Neurohypophysis**: This is the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, which includes the pars nervosa. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the pars nervosa is specifically part of the neurohypophysis, and the neurohypophysis is part of the pituitary gland, we conclude that the correct answer to the question is the pituitary gland. 6. **Final Answer**: The pars nervosa is a part of the **pituitary gland** (option 3). ---
