Hypophisis - overview (HE)


Description: PL – anterior lobe of hypophisis, ZL – posterior lobe of hypophisis, between there is pars intermedia – in human it's a rudimental middle lobule with Rathke's cleft cysts (C), which are the remnants of Rathke's lumina from pituitary development, C – Rathke's cyst, afunctional, IB – invasion of basophilic cells into the posterior lobe.
