Summary Adenohypophyses from more than two hundred white-crowned sparrows of both sexes and different ages, and from different periods of their annual reproductive cycle, have been used for this investigation. In addition to examination of these normal birds, we have also studied the adenohypophyses of 23 castrates and 24 controls held in different photoperiodic conditions.Cytologically the pars distalis of the adenohypophysis of the white-crowned sparrow is typically avian with distinct cephalic and caudal lobes, each with characteristic cell-types.Four basic cell-types, the acidophils, basophils, amphophils, and chromophobes, have been identified in the pars distalis by means of Matsuo tetrachrome and Matsuo modified PAS-methyl blue staining methods.Three types of acidophils, orange, red, and small, are confined to the caudal lobe of the pars distalis. Their possible functions are discussed.Light basophils (PAS-light red cells) and deep basophils (PAS-deep red cells) are equally distributed in both lobes. It is suggested that basophils may be involved in gonadotropic function since their appearance correlates well with the annual gonadal cycle and photoperiodic stimulation of gonadal growth and with the results of castration.The amphophils or PAS-purple cells (aldehyde-fuchsin positive) are found only in the cephalic lobe. Their probable function is discussed.Two types of chromophobes, specific and ordinary chromophobes, have been observed. The specific chromophobes are found only in the cephalic lobe and are similar to the Kernhaufen described by Romeis (1940). The ordinary chromophobes are similar to those of the pars distalis of other avian species and of mammals.The castration cells are found in both lobes of the photosensitive castrates under natural photoperiodic conditions as well as in those subjected artificially to photostimulation (20-hour daily photoperiods). Similar cells have also been observed in the pars tuberalis of the castrated photostimulated birds.The relations of the rostral and caudal groups of the portal vessels to the cell-types found in the cephalic and caudal lobes are discussed.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Y.

Summary The angioarchitecture of the hypophysial portal system of the White-crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii, was investigated by electron microscopy in conjunction with light microscopy of serial thick sections.The small arteries or arterioles supplying the primary capillary plexus of the median eminence have the typical form of arterioles.The vessels of the primary capillary plexus, on the surface of the median eminence, with their many fenestrations and pinocytotic vesicles, are typical of the form of capillary usually found in other endocrine organs.The portal vessels in the pars tuberalis have wide perivascular spaces between the basement membrane of the endothelium and that of parenchymal lobules of the pars tuberalis. These perivascular spaces are occupied usually by the perivascular cells, but sometimes contain erythrocytes.The endothelial cells of the portal vessels often protrude into vascular lumen giving the appearance of valve-like structures. These may have a role in the regulation of blood flow.The endothelial cells of the portal vessels are invested by a definitive basement membrane and by the cytoplasm of pericytes which are oriented spirally to the longitudinal axes of the vessels. The pericytes may have a function in the mechanical support of the vascular wall and a contractile function that might regulate the flow rate of blood.The investigation reported herein was supported by a scientific research grant (No. 291049) from the Ministry of Education of Japan to Prof. Mikami; by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to Prof. Oksche; by a grant (5 ROI-NB 06817) from the National Institutes of Health to Prof. Farner, and by a research grant (5 ROI-HE 07240 NEUA) from the National Institutes of Health to Prof. Vitums. 相似文献

Summary The development of the hypophysial portal system has been studied in 35 embryos and 45 nestlings of the White-crowned Sparrow. The primordium of the hypophysis is vascularized by the infundibular (primary) capillary plexus, supplied by the right and left infundibular arteries, which, in the embryo, are constant branches of the right and left internal carotid arteries.The cellular proliferation and differentiation of the pars distalis into rostral and caudal lobes is accompanied by a penetration of portal vessels from the infundibular (primary) capillary plexus into these lobes beginning on the fifth day of incubation. The cellular proliferation of the rostral lobe of the pars distalis and development of the rostral group of the portal vessels precedes that of the caudal lobe of the pars distalis and the development of the caudal group of the portal vessels.The periglandular vessels, which originate in younger embryos from the infundibular (primary) capillary plexus, apparently become a part of the portal vessels.The portal vessels are the sole blood supply to the developing pars distalis of the White-crowned Sparrow; there is no evidence of a direct arterial supply at anytime during embryonic development. The neural-lobe artery appears at the end of incubation as a secondary branch of the right and left infundibular arteries. The rostral and caudal groups of the portal vessels are well-developed at the end of incubation (17–29 mm CRL) when aldehyde-fuchsin positive neurosecretory material first appears in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, in the median eminence and in the neural lobe.The differentiation of the median eminence into rostral and caudal divisions begins at the end of the nestling period although its adult form is not achieved until later. The formation of the portal zone begins at the end of incubation (17–29 mm CRL) and is completed by the time of fledging.Dedicated to Professor Dr. W. Bargmann in honor of his 60th birthday.The investigations reported herein were supported by a research grant (HE 07240 NEUA) from the National Institutes of Health to Professor Vitums, by funds for biological and medical research made available by State of Washington Initiative Measure No 171 to Professor Vitums, by a research grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to Professor Oksche, by aresearch grant (NB 01353) from the National Institutes of Health to Professor Farner, and by a Research Career Development Award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases (5 K 3 AM-18,370) to Professor King.
