(ed. 7) xvii. 473 The cellular elements of the glandular portion of the hypophysis have usually been classified as chromophiles and chromophobes. This classification is based upon the relative stainability of the cells. 1953Carleton & Short Schäfer's Essentials Histol. (ed. 16) xx. 266 Two types of cell were recognized by Hannover in 1844. These became known as the chromophil and the chromophobe. The chromophil, later known as the α-cells, were so called because of their affinity for salts of chromium. Later the same terminology was used to mean that this type had an affinity for dyes which the chromophobe did not possess. |
