2 - Hypothalamus and pituitary gland Flashcards
whihc is most superior hypothalmus or pituatoyr
hypothalamus
what is the hypothalmus made out of
neural brain tissue
how is the pituatary attached
infundibulum
what is the connection of the hypothalmus and the posterior pituatory
neuronal
what is the connnectiono between hypothalmus and antiero pituatly
capillaries
how large is the pitualry
bean sized about 14 mm
whihch bone is the pituatory gland in
sphenoid
which is true endocrine, postieor or antieroe pituaayr
anterior
how much of the pitatory is anterior and posteoro
2/3 anterior
1/3 posterior
role of posteriror
secreting neuraol of nerual hormones
what is the middle part of oitaary called
par intermdia
what does pars intermedia secrete
msh - melocyte secreting hormone
factors that effect the hypothalm
cold, stress, metabolic demand, exercise, day/ lihgt, mental cycle, sleep, breast feeding, pregnancy, puberty
what does the pituatry gland control
trhyoid
adreanl
lactioaiton
gonda fuciton
growth
water balance
metabolisms
what type of horomes are relaed by pituarayy and ghpothalms
trophic and non trophic hormones
what type of hormes are relased by posterior pituary and hypothalmus
neurohormone
what are torpic hoomres
give rise to another hormone
example of non trophic
nerual hormes produe ni hypothalus travel to te to posterio pituatry though axons to release a chemical into blodd
examples o ftropic hormoens
nueroal hormes secrete into capillarei travell to antiero pituary
type of neruon in posterior pituatry
magnocelluar neurons
role of magnocelluar hromes
release Peptie neuro hormones - vasopressing - anti diurectic hrome adh
oxytocin - stimalres uterine corntioact (during labour) and adis in exression of milk in locating brest
role of oxytoicn and vasopressin in postieor prituatry
act like peptide hormes to pacakage and store the visible allowing its release
how are postioer pituar hroemes transprt from hypotha
as veiscels so the poster ptiaury can erasle them into the blood after being stored
what are the main 5 hypothalmic relases hormones
trh
crh - corticotropin releaseing hormone
ghrh
gnrh - gonadotropin relaasing hromone
prolactin releasing horomone
