|
Pituitary Gland |
The pituitary gland is located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone. Contains the pituitary stalk, posterior lobe and anterior lobe. |
|
|
Anterior Lobe (pituitary gland) |
Makes hormones and appears glandular. |
|
|
Posterior Lobe (pituitary gland) |
Stores and releases hormones made by the hypothalamus and is nervous in appearance. |
|
|
Parathyroid Gland |
Four parathyroid glands are attached on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. Contains chief cells and oxyphil cells. |
|
|
Located in the sella turcica of sphenoid bone |
Pituitary gland |
|
|
Contains alpha, beta, and delta cells |

|
|
Located in mediastinum |
Thymus |
|
|
