Anatomical and histological characteristics of pituitary gland in domestic animals

As it regulates important physical functions and general wellbeing, the hypophysis plays a major role in responding to increased demand for different hormones. In current review, we described anatomical histological structures of pituitary glands domestic animals. Unlike other glands, gland has two main parts; adenohypophysis (anterior lobe), which contains multiple populations endocrine cells is responsible producing each trophic Another part that neurohypophysis (posterior lobe) secretes granules contain certain neurohypophyseal hormones, like antidiuretic hormone oxytocin, are synthesized hypothalamus.
