- LM immunocytochemistry (ICC) to localize growth hormone in the rabbit anterior pituitary. The darkly-stained cells are somatotropes, that produce growth hormone and have abundant secretory granules in their cytoplasm, giving strong immunoreactivity for antibodies against growth hormone. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/DAB was used as the marker (with the Vector ABC kit). Slide done during the 3 hr ICC demo run carried out by students in AKC’s Morphology for Molecular Biologists course. 1998D07(33)C.jpg. 72(650)6.
- Fluorescence immunocytochemistry to localize cells (gonadotropes) making LH/FSH in the rat anterior pituitary. The primary antibody was against the ß-subunit of luteinizing hormone (LH), and fluorescein was on the secondary antibody as a marker. LH is in secretory granules in the cytoplasm of the two gonadotrope cells. Semithin frozen section (about 2 µm thick) of lightly fixed but unembedded pituitary. Done by AKC in 1983. Later used as a cover for the journal Microscopy and Microanalysis, volume 3, number 6, November/December 1997. 1983B05(75)C.jpg. 72(650)6.

- Regulation of the anterior pituitary by releasing hormones produced by neurons in the hypothalamus. From Hedges 1987, p. 86. 1996C18(24).gif. 72(700).
- Regulation of the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary is regulated by neurosecretion from the hypothalamus. Neurons produce releasing hormones that pass along their axons to terminals in the median eminence. There the hormones pass into capillaries, which carry the hormones through portal veins to capillary beds of the anterior pituitary, where the pituitary cells are stimulated. The hormones of the posterior pituitary (oxytocin, vasopressin), on the other hand, are made by neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus, pass all the way to the posterior pituitary in axons, and are released there into capillaries that carry them out to the body. From O'Riordan et al 1988, p 47. 1997C27(2).jpg. 72(700)6.
- SEM of a vascular corrosive cast of capillaries and veins on the inferior aspect of the anterior pituitary and median eminence of a rat. Neurosecretory neurons in the hypothalamus send releasing hormones down their axons to terminals in the median eminence (labeled M), where the hormones are released into capillaries. The blood from these capillaries travels through hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal veins (labeled P) to reach the anterior pituitary (labeled A), where the releasing hormones regulate the cells that make pituitary hormones.

- LM, human adrenal medulla, source of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine (= adrenaline and nor-adrenaline). There is some zona reticularis at the top of the picture (cells more reddish). The somewhat brownish appearance of the medulla is due to staining with potassium dichromate -- the cells that make norepinephrine and epinephrine are chromaffin cells. From Japanese slide collection (Humio Mizoguti, Kobe Univ Sch Med), slide 565 (= 57-13). Japan565-L.jpg. 72(600)6.
- EM showing cells of the adrenal medulla. The medulla has two hormone-producing cell types, one making norepinephrine (at left, labeled NE), and one making epinephrine (at right, labeled E). Note that the secretory granules of the norepinephrine secreting cell are larger than those of the epinephrine cell. From Stan Erlandsen Medical Histology slide collection, slide MH 9/G/2-P. MH-9G2.jpg. 72(700)6.
- Secretion of epinephrine or nor-epinephrine in the adrenal medulla. Note that the hormones are synthesized free in the cytoplasm, and then transported into the secretory granule. A given cell makes either norepinephrine or epinephrine, not both. From Junqueira and Carneiro, 10th ed., 2003, page 419, fig. 21-8. EN-MedullaCell.jpg.

- Production of thyroid hormones in thyroid follicular epithelial cells. A large protein, thyroglobulin (composed of two identical 330 MW subunits), is secreted into the colloid, and iodine is added to tyrosine residues. Later, under pituitary TSH stimulation, the protein is taken up by the cells, and is degraded, releasing thyroid hormones T4 and T3 into nearby capillaries.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi complex (G), lysosomes (RB for residual bodies, DB for dense bodies), microvilli (Mv), nucleus (N) and lumen (Lu) of the follicle.

- Causes of goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland). Usually involves chronic insufficient production of thyroid hormones. This causes pituitary to overproduce TSH in an effort to remedy the deficit, thus making the thyroid hyperactive (hypertrophy) and increasing the number of cells (hyperplasia). Experimental production by a goitrogen, thiouracil (blocks iodide oxidation by peroxidase). A defective pituitary, with overproduction of TSH, can also cause it.

- Thyroid functional states. Above, normal. Lower left, underactive (=hypoactive), with low epithelium and the accumulation of colloid. Lower right, overactive (=hyperactive), with tall epithelial cells, decreased colloid. From 0'Riordan, 2nd ed, p 160. 1990C26(23).jpg.
- LM, thyroid, monkey. The follicles shown here appear hypoactive, since the follicular epithelium is very low, and the colloid is abundant. AKC, photographed from a commercial glycolmethacrylate section. 1974I10(39)C.jpg. 72(600)6.
- Follicles in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland shown here would appear to be somewhat hyperactive: (1) the follicular epithelial cells seem particularly large, and (2) the colloid in the follicles is depleted, suggesting it is being taken up rapidly for conversion to thyroid hormones. Red blood cells in small blood vessels between the follicles stain light pink in this preparation, which is unusual. From histology slide Medical Histology atlas by Stanley L. Erlandsen and Jean E. Magney, slide 9/D/3. MH-9D3.jpg.
- Thyroid follicle, and the production of thyroid hormones (T4, T3) by way of thyroglobulin. The figure also shows the location of C cells, source of calcitonin. Modified from figure by Hedge 1987, p 102. 1996C18(8).jpg. 72(700)6.
- C-cell (parafollicular cell) in the epithelium of a thyroid follicle. C-cells are often in the interstitial tissue between thyroid follicles. However, they may also be incorporated into the thyroid epithelium, where they share a common basement membrane, but are never in contact with the lumen. U-M virtual slide 218, at coordinates 3181x7811.
- LM, immunocytochemical localization of parafollicular cells (= C cells), source of calcitonin in the thyroid gland. These cells are usually difficult to distinguish in histological preparations of thyroid, but the immunocytochemical staining for calcitonin makes them dark brown. These cells are usually seen between the follicles, but may also occur in the base of the follicular epithelium. From Stan Erlandsen Medical Histology slide collection, slide MH 9/D/8.

- LM, human parathyroid gland at very low power. The gland is essentially a solid mass of chief cells, source of parathyroid hormone. Also visible in this section are dark blood vessels, and white extracted lipid droplets. From Japanese slide set (Humio Mizoguti, Kobe Univ Sch Med), slide 542 (= 9-11). Japan542.jpg. 72(650)6.
- Low power LM of parathyroid gland. Virtually all the cells seen here are chief cells (source of parathyroid hormone), but there is an oxyphil cell (arrow) just below the white space near the center of the field. 1992G23(55)C.jpg. 72(650)6.

In the oxyphil cells, note the small, dense nuclei, and the clear, eosinophilic cytoplasm. The large white circles are extracted fat cells.
