Figure 12.

The axial section of the human pituitary gland at the level of the vestigial intermediate lobe (approximately representing the boxed area in the diagram). Note the cluster of remnants of Rathke’s pouch / cleft (RC). The arcs indicate the posterior (center) and postero-medial (left and right) edges of the mucoid wedge (with scattered basophils) and pituitary wings (with scattered somatotrophs), respectively. The asterisk indicates basophil corticotrophs ‘spilling’ into the neurohypophysis (‘basophil invasion’, see figure 13).

Figure 8.

The axial section of the adenohypophysis of the human pituitary gland at the level indicated by the dashed blue line in the diagram. Although there is a mixture of different hormone producing cells in most pituitary acini, the distribution of cells is not random: this is most pronounced in the ‘lateral wings’, which contain mostly somatotroph cells and the central ‘mucoid wedge’, which contains the majority of the corticotrophs. This is easily appreciated in periodic acid-Schiff / orange-G (PAS-OG) histochemistry, which stains somatotrophs yellow-orange (OG-positive) and corticotrophs purple (PAS-positive).

Signaling molecules and transcription factors involved in the development of the mouse anterior pituitary from Rathke’s pouch. In the anterior lobe somatotrophs, lactotrophs and caudally-placed thyrotrophs derive from a common lineage, determined by Prop-1 and Pit-1. Independent lineages are observed for a rostrally-placed group of thyrotrophs, corticotrophs, gonadotrophs and intermediate lobe melanotrophs. All cell types are committed to a specific lineage through activation of Notch signalling at the placodal stage.
