Pituitary gland is an endocrine gland and has two parts which are anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary .

Anterior pituitary also called adenohypophysis has 3 parts

a)infundibular stalk

b)pars nervosa

Pars distalis has 2 types of cells

a)chromophobe cells -50 %

b)chromophil cells -50%

Chromophil cells include acidophils 40% and basophils-10%

Acidophils include somatotrope and lactotrope .

Basophils include thyrotrope ,gonadotrope ,cortocotrope.

Peptide harmones secreted by pars distalis are

1.GH(growth hormone)- by somatotrope

2.prolactin - by lactotrope

3.TSH(thyroid stimulating hormone)-by thyrotrope

4.FSH(follicle stimulating hormone)- by gonadotrope

5.LH(luteinizing hormone)-by gonadotrope
