Question

Chromophil cells are found in.
A. Anterior pituitary.
B. Thymus
C. Adrenal cortex
D. Testis

Answer 1

Hint: Chromophile cells are distributed all over the body in endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, pancreas, hypophysis, and anterior pituitary gland which termed as adenohypophysis that present in the brain.

Complete answer:
The chromophile cell secretes a hormone which is present in endocrine glands, and they are acidophilic and basophilic cell, which depends on whether they stain with the acid dye of basic dye respectively and stain easily with chromium salts. they are usually present in the cluster.
Chromophil cells contain chromaffin granules, which secretes hormones. Chromaffin granules are the subcellular structure that contains amino acid precursors for a certain type of hormones which decarboxylated to corresponds amines so that they belong to APUD cells (amine precursor and decarboxylation) For example:- dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
Thymus: It is the lymphoid organ of the immune system and produces T cells which is crucial to adaptive immunity, the thymus is made up of immature thymocytes and epithelial lining which develops thymocytes.
Adrenal cortex: It is the region of the adrenal gland which secretes a different kind of hormones. Adrenal glands release steroid hormones such as aldosterone and cortisol and different parts of the adrenal gland secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Testis: It is the male gonads which produce sperm, that is male gametes which fuse with female gametes and produce new young one. Testis also secretes a hormone called testosterone hormone which is secreted by Leydig cells

Hence, the correct option is option (A).

Note: Endocrine glands are the duct fewer glands which secrete hormone or chemical messenger directly into the bloodstream, the major endocrine glands are the pineal gland, pancreas, pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid, hypothalamus, and adrenal glands.
