1. The adenohypophysis constitutes the prominent anterior segment of the pituitary gland.
2. Originating from the embryonic ectoderm, it emerges as Rathke’s pouch, a small protrusion from the roof of the embryonic stomodaeum.
3. Comprising secretory cells with an epitheloid structure, the adenohypophysis carries out hormonal functions.
4. Rathke’s pouch undergoes development to form this significant lobe responsible for hormone production.
5. The adenohypophysis, derived from embryonic tissues, plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes through its secretory activity.
