β¦ Synopsis
Understanding the development of the human adenohypophysis is dependent on visualizing the growth of Rathke's pouch. This embryonic structure gives rise to bilateral anterior and posterior, superior and inferior segments. These segments differ in their potential to produce various types of hypophyseal chromophils. The potential differences are described in the text.
Further, by application of specific staining procedures it has been possible to determine the approximate time that specific chromophils appear in the adenohypophysis. The chromophils of the adenohypophysis develop in the order: cell type 111, I, IV, 11, V, VI and IX. There may be a relationship between the development of certain chromophils and the onset of function in target endocrine glands.

Development and differentiation of bile ducts have been studied for the understanding of pathogenesis of biliary atresia and other diseases of the intrahepatic biliary tree. The aim of this study is to correlate the type of biliary structure with the size of the portal tract and the gestational age.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of hypophysectomy on cell proliferation in the left ovary and the left testis of 8- to 14-day-old chick embryos. Hypophysectomy was performed by the partial decapitation technique. At 44-46 h of incubation, chick embryo heads were sectioned at
