Q

Andrenal pathway

A

Hypothalamus secretes: CRH (goes to antieror pituitary)

AP: secretes ACTH (goes to adrenal glands)

Adrenal glands secrete: adrenal corticosteroids:

Q

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

synthesized by Chromaffin cells in the medula of the adrenal glands. Increace smpathetic functions (increase heart rate but dilates brionchioles)

Q

Regulation methods of hormones

A

Cortisone is a steroid hormone regulated by synthesis. Insulin,epinephrine, and growth hormone are regulated by merocrine secretion, and thyroxine by endocytosis and degradation of thyroglobulin.

16
Q

Macula densa

A

Monitors NaCl concentrations in the urine and tells JG cells when to secrete renin

17
Q

JG cells

A

Monitor blood pressure and secrete renin when low

18
Q

Mesangial cells

A

Restrict macromolecules from hanging out and contract to regulate capillaries

19
Q

Angiotensin 2 pathway

A

Angitensinogen (made by Liver)

Cut by renin (made by kidney) to make angiotensin 1

which is cut by ACE (made in lungs) to make antitensin 2 which contracts arterioles!!!!

20
Q

Aldosterone vs ADH

A

Aldosterone stimulates NaCl reabsorption. ADH increases permeability of the collecting tubule to water.

21
Q

Intersitital fibroblasts

A

secrete erythropoietin in kidneys

22
Q

Sertoli cells

A

produce fluid for spermatozoa movement,

Use tight junctions to form the blood-testis barrier

carry out phagocytosis

produce inhibin (suppreses FSH)

23
Q

Sperm hormone pathway

A

FSH makes sertoli cells realease androgen-binding protein which makes permatogenic cells receptice to testosterone that initiales spermatogenesis

24
Q

Testi duct pathway

A
  • Seminiferous tubules
  • Tubuli recti
  • Rete testis
  • Efferent duct
  • ## Epididymis
25
Testi duct pathway
- Seminiferous tubules - Tubuli recti - Rete testis - Efferent duct - Epididymis - Ductus deferens - Ejaculatory ducts - Urethra
26
cremaster muscle
raise and lower nuts
27
germinal epithelium
simple cubodial epithelium
28
Tunica albuginea
connective tissue layer beneath the germinal epithelium
29
Peg cells (found in oviduct are columnar cells)
function to nourish oocyte
30
Type 2 Alveolar cells
Secrete surfactant which lowers alveolar surface tension and participates into foreign body clearance.
