Title: Herring bodies in pars nervosa (II) of the hypophysis
Description:
(A): Neurohypophysis, stain Azan, human. The pars nervosa stores ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin which were secreted by the hypothalamus The Herring bodies are here indicated with arrows.
(B - D): Neurohypophyses, electron microscopy, rat. The Herring bodies are dilated terminal axon ends from nerve tracts originating
from the hypothalamus. These bodies and their granular content are detailed here.
Most other cells are glia-like cell types the so-called pituicytes (1). (2) Capillaries.
Keywords/Mesh: hypophysis, pituitary gland, neurohypophysis, pituicyte, Herring body, ADH, oxytocin, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
