Antique Framed Print : Pituitary gland tissue, light micrograph
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Pituitary gland tissue, light micrograph
Pituitary gland tissue. Light micrograph of a section through the pars distalis, the anterior part of the adenohypophysis in the pituitary gland. The adenohypophysis is a glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, an endocrine gland attached to the base of the vertebrate brain. Hormones secreted from here include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and growth hormones. Chromophils (cells that stain easily) are seen here in red. The cytoplasm of the chromophobes (cells that do not stain easily) is unstained or only lightly stained, appearing blue. Magnification: x1250 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of pituitary gland tissue, specifically a section through the pars distalis. The pituitary gland, an essential endocrine gland located at the base of the vertebrate brain, is responsible for secreting various hormones crucial to our overall health and well-being. In this image, we can observe chromophils - cells that stain easily - depicted in vibrant red hues. On the other hand, the cytoplasm of chromophobes - cells that do not readily stain - remains unstained or lightly stained, appearing as delicate shades of blue. With a magnification level of x1250 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph provides us with an intricate view into the microscopic world within our bodies. It highlights both the normal anatomy and histology of this important anatomical structure. The adenohypophysis, which is part of the pituitary gland's anterior portion (pars distalis), plays a significant role in hormone secretion. Notably, it produces adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and growth hormones vital for regulating various bodily functions. This image serves as a testament to how science and technology enable us to explore and understand complex biological systems on such minute scales. It invites us to marvel at the intricacies hidden within our own bodies while appreciating their remarkable functionality and interconnectedness.
