Pituitary (Hypophysis) | basement membranes of the craniopharyngeal pouch and the brain are clearly in contact (O'Rahilly 1973). | a slight irregularity in the surface outline of the intact head corresponds to the future pineal body (O'Rahilly et al. 1982). Thymus. Weller's (1933) "thymus" (the third pharyngeal pouch) becomes elongated. | pineal body is detectable in the roof of the diencephalon (Stadium I of Turkewitsch 1933) (O'Rahilly 1968). | cellular migration in an external direction occurs in the pineal body during stages 16 and 17 (Stadium 2 of Turkewitsch 1933) (O'Rahilly 1968). | cellular migration in the pineal body forms a distinct "anterior lobe" in which follicles appear (Stadium 3 of Turkewitsch 1933) (O'Rahilly 1973 a). | the "anterior lobe" of the pineal body shows a characteristic step and wedge appearance (Stadium 4 of Turkewitsch 1933) (O'Rahilly 1968). | The pineal body has reached Stadium 5 of Turkewitsch (1933).[1] |
