biology digestive system of human digestive glands liver pancreas

  1. Acidophilic $\alpha$ - cells

  2. Acidophilic $\beta$ - cells

  3. Basophilic $\alpha$ - cells

  4. Basophilic $\beta$ - cells

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Pituitary gland has two parts; adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. Adenohypophysis has two types of cells, chromophobe cells and chromophil cells. Chromophil cells are divided into acidophilic or alpha cells and basophilic or beta cells depending upon whether they stain with acidic or basic dyes.
Growth hormone (GH) is secreted from acidophilic cells i.e. alpha cells (α) of anterior pituitary. It stimulates body growth and metabolism.
So, the correct answer is 'Acidophilic αα - cells'.
