The anterior lobe of the hedgehog pituitary possess folliculo-stellate cells. These agranular (or few granular) cells, connected together by juctional complexes in relation with mitochondria, limit small cavities; at the luminar surfaces, microvillosities projecting in the lumen are seen. The lumina of cavities contain, or not, an electron dense substance, but not remnants of glandular cells. Long slender cytoplasmic processes, extended between adjacent granular cells, takes contact with the basement parenchymatous membrane, where they form a so-called "vascular foot". The cytoplasm of these cells contains a variety of organelles; their development is variable and appears in relation with the functional activity of the cell.
刺猬垂体的前叶含有滤泡星形细胞。这些无颗粒（或少量颗粒）细胞通过与线粒体相关的连接复合体连接在一起，围成小腔；在腔面，可见微绒毛伸向腔内。腔的管腔中含有或不含有电子致密物质，但没有腺细胞的残余物。细长的细胞质突起延伸于相邻的颗粒细胞之间，与基底实质膜接触，在那里形成所谓的“血管足”。这些细胞的细胞质含有多种细胞器；它们的发育情况各不相同，且与细胞的功能活动有关。
