1.

Corticotrophs :

Round to ovoid cells, larger than most

acidophilic cells
Eccentric nucleus
Synthesize protropin become ACTH, Beta
lipotropic hormone/LPH,Melanocyte
stimulating hormone/MSH, Beta endhorphin

2. Thyrotrophs :

Large polyhedral cells

The smallest granules of any granules in
parenchymal cells
Secrete : thyrotropin/thyroid stimulating
hormone

3. Gonadotrophs : 2 types of cells1,

2, 3

a. FSH secreting cells :

Large & round cells

Abundant RER & mitochondria & Well develop
golgi complex
Secretory granules vary in diameter

b. LH secreting cells :

Small & round cells

Abundant RER & mitochondria & Well develop
golgi complex
Secretory granules vary in diameter
