  2. Posterior pituitary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_pituitary

    A few sources include the pars intermedia as part of the posterior lobe, but this is a minority view. It is based upon the gross anatomical separation of the posterior and anterior pituitary along the cystic remnants of Rathke's pouch, causing the pars intermedia to remain attached to the neurohypophysis.

  3. Anterior pituitary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_pituitary

    The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is a major organ of the endocrine system.The anterior pituitary is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) which, in humans, is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus.

  4. Pituitary gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituitary_gland

    The anterior lobe of the pituitary can be divided into the pars tuberalis (pars infundibularis) and pars distalis (pars glandularis) that constitutes ~80% of the gland. The pars intermedia (the intermediate lobe) lies between the pars distalis and the pars tuberalis, and is rudimentary in the human, although in other species it is more ...

  5. Pars intermedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pars_intermedia

    Pars intermedia is seen between pars distalis and pars nervosa. The pars intermedia is one of the three parts of the anterior pituitary. It is a section of tissue sometimes called a middle or intermediate lobe, between the pars distalis, and the posterior pituitary. [1] It is a small region that is largely without blood supply. [2] The cells in ...

  6. Pituicyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituicyte

    Pituicytes are located in the pars nervosa of the posterior pituitary and interspersed with unmyelinated axons and Herring bodies.They generally stain dark purple with an H&E stain and are among the easiest structures to identify in the region.

  7. Articular cartilage repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_repair

    Arthroscopic lavage is a "cleaning up" procedure of the knee joint. This short-term solution is not considered as an articular cartilage repair procedure but rather a palliative treatment to reduce pain, mechanical restriction and inflammation.

  8. Peroneal nerve paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroneal_nerve_paralysis

    Arthroplasty on knee has been broadly used to treat knee and musculoskeletal joint dislocation. It is an elective procedure that is done to relieve pain and restore function to the joint after damage by arthritis or some other type of trauma. However, there has been series of reports arthroplasty worsens condition of peroneal nerve, causing ...

  9. Rathke's pouch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathke's_pouch

    Rathke's pouch is a sac-like structure that gives rise to the pars distalis, pars intermedia, and pars tuberalis of the pituitary gland. The cells of Rathke's pouch proliferate and differentiate into various hormone-producing cells, including Somatotrophs , Lactotrophs , Corticotrophs , Thyrotrophs , and Gonadotrophs .
