Extract

The importance of the pituitary in relation to many body processes has long been recognised, and may be due either to its direct influence on the body or to its control over other endocrine organs, in particular the thyroids and gonads. It is evident that various hormones are elaborated in the gland, and it appears likely that they originate in particular regions or even in particular cell types. It is of interest therefore to ascertain at what period in the development of the animal these hormones first appear. This problem can be approached from two directions, experimental and histological.
