[The relationship between age, different degrees of atherosclerosis and comparative morphofunctional characteristics
Abstract:
A total of 65 adenohypophyses of male and female patients who had suffered from latent and manifesting forms of atherosclerosis, and 43 adenohypophyses of practically healthy people (withoug atherosclerosis) were studied. The morphometrical method of investigation was broadly used in this work, which made it possible to carry out mathematical treatment of the data obtained. The most drastic changes in the structure of the adenohypophysis were noted in cases in whom death had occurred as a result of acute coronary insufficiency which was considered as a variant of stress situation in the organism. An intimate connection between the morphofunctional state of the adenohypophysis and histomorphological changes in the peripheral endocrine glands depending upon age, sex and manifestation of atherosclerosis is shown.

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
