How are acidophils and basophils antigonistic
Dear student,
Acidophils and basophils are not antagonistic. Acidophils and basophils two kinds of cells in the anterior pituitary. They stain differently in the presence of acidic and basic dye due to which they are named acidophils and basophils. Acidophils include two kinds of cells somatotroph and lactotroph. Basophils include cells corticotroph, thyrotroph, and gonadotroph. Isoelectric point in basophil cell's protein is basic and isoelectric point in acidophil's protein is acidic. Acidophilic cells are found in the antero-lateral-area and the basophilic cells are found in the posterior-central- area.
Regards
