Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy and Physiology of the pituitary gland can be found here.
General Pathological Principles
Two major changes can occur in an endocrine gland:
- Failure of hormone production:
- Destruction or lack of cells.
- Lack of trophic drive.
- Overproduction of hormone:
- Hyperplasia or neoplasia.
- Excessive trophic drive.
Pituitary Hypofunction
Pituitary Hyperfunction
