This lecture focuses on the practical aspect of histology, specifically examining the endocrine glands, starting with the hypophysis. The instructor guides through the microscopic observation of the hypophysis, highlighting its structure, cell types, and the surrounding tissues. The lecture also touches on the importance of proper staining techniques to distinguish cell types and the significance of understanding the embryological development of the hypophysis. The session concludes with insights into the pituitary gland's connection to the hypothalamus and the secretion of key hormones. The practical demonstration provides a comprehensive view of the histological features of the hypophysis, emphasizing the intricate details of its anatomy and function.
