Explain the Anterior Pituitary

The anterior pituitary gland or adenohypophysis consists of three types of cells - acidophils, basophils and chromophores according to their staining characteristics. The anterior pituitary, as already highlighted above, secretes six hormones: growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and prolactin. Since most of these are trophic hormones (controlling growth and nutrition of other glands), pituitary is also known as "master gland".
