Pituitary

This image shows a horizontal section through the human pituitary at the level indicated in the previous image. The contrast between the pale-staining neural tissue and the deeply basophilic staining of the glandular adenohypophyseal tissue is evident.  The entire pituitary is surrounded by a dense connective tissue capsule that is continuous with the dura mater.  10x
