Abstract
The International Committee for Nomenclature of the Adenohypophysis calls attention to the necessity for improving the present chaotic situation in the nomenclature of the hormone-producing cells in the adenohypophysis. A full description of the cell types must be based upon both morphological and functional criteria, but there will be cases in which a morphological description is the only practical one. The Committee recommends a standard system of functional names for the cell types but is unable to recommend a standard system of morphological nomenclature. However, the Committee draws attention, to certain criteria that must be satisfied if morphological descriptions are to be satisfactorily reproducible.
