Plane of section is parasagittal, demonstrating pars distalis, pars intermedia and pars nervosa with a portion of its stalk.
Pars distalis can be identified by its large number of chromophobes (pale blue to blue grey), along with occasional acidophils (brownish-red) and basophils (blue to bluish purple); it also exhibits abundant collagenous tissue.
The pars intermedia (stained a darker blue) is separated from the pars distalis by the intraglandular cleft.

 Physiologyadenohypophysis
The pars tuberalis is applied to the surface of the median eminence and the upper infundibular stem- rostral regions of the neurohypophysis.
The venous drainage of the adenohypophysis is from the pars distalis to the adjacent cavernous sinus.
As neurosecretory cells terminate on median eminence capillaries that drain to the pars distalis via portal routes and on capillaries in the infundibular stem and neural lobe that drain to the adjacent pars distalis, the entire neurohypophyseal capillary bed may be viewed as the final common pathway to the pars distalis.

 Pars intermedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pars intermedia is the boundary between the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary.
However, the pars intermedia is normally either very small or entirely absent in adulthood.
In lower vertebrates (fish, amphibians) MSH from the pars intermedia is responsible for darkening of the skin, often in response to changes in background color.

 e-Prints Soton - Photoperiodic regulation of prolactin gene expression in the Syrian hamster by a pars ...
Pituitary prolactin gene expression, restricted to the pars distalis, was increased in hamsters maintained in long daylengths (16 h : 8 h, light : dark) compared to hamsters exposed to short daylengths (8 h : 16 h, light : dark) for 8–12 weeks.
Analysis of single cells by in situ hybridization showed that photoperiod had no effect on the percentage of pars distalis cells expressing prolactin mRNA, but shifted the frequency distribution of prolactin mRNA expression per cell, such that in long photoperiods a greater proportion of cells were recruited to a higher expressing population.
In vitro coculture of hamster pars tuberalis fragments increased prolactin promoter-driven luciferase activity in stably transfected GH3 cells in a dose- and duration-dependent manner.

The pars nervosa secretes the hormones oxytocin (which causes uterine contractions and milk ejection from mammary glands) and ADH (antidiuretic hormone which causes the kidney tubules to resorb water from the glomerular filtrate and also causes vasoconstriction, hence the alternate name - vasopressin).
The stimulus for the release of hypothalamic releasing factors (RF) is the circulating level in the blood of the hormones whose output is regulated by the trophic hormones of the pars distalis of the pituitary gland.
This increase in photoperiod is detected by the eyes and the increased stimulation of the optic nerve results in impulses passed along in the brain to the hypothalamus.

The neurohypophysis consists of the pars nervosa and the infundibulum (infundibular stem + median eminence of the tuber cinereum).
No, the answer is B. The pars tuberalis is a projection or extension from the pars anterior which extends up along the anterior and lateral aspects of the pituitary stalk.
The cell types of the pars distalis are classified as chromophils and chromophobes based upon their relative avidity or lack of affinity for dyes used in staining procedures.

 Pituitary Gland
There are three regions of the pituitary gland represented on your slide: the pars distalis (or anterior lobe) and the pars intermedia (or intermediate lobe) of the adenohypophysis and the pars nervosa (or posterior lobe) which is also called the neurohypophysis.
The anterior lobe (pars distalis) has cords or clusters of cells separated by a rich capillary and sinusoidal bed.
The intermediate lobe (pars intermedia) is not well defined in the human, and is much larger in animals (i.e., the cat pituitary, Slides 157 and 229).
