title: Cell types in the pituitary of the roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.), (Teleostei).
abstract: The pituitary of roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.), is pear-shaped and situated in the sella turcica. It is characterised by a large pars nervosa, which penetrates deep into the other regions, splitting the proximal pars distalis. Spatial localisation of nerve fibre types and glandular cell types occurs. Using a variety of staining techniques six glandular cell types have been localised and their distribution is disucssed in relation to those of the other teleost pituitaries.
