embryology of endocrine system Flashcards
timeline of development of endocrine glands
weeks 3-8
Rathkes pouch
invagination of oral cavity
Rathkes pouch will become
anterior pituitary
infundibular stalk comes from what and becomes
invagination of diencephalon called the neurohypophyseal diverticulum, posterior pituitary
adenohypothysis (anterior lobe of pituitary) contains what
pars anterior
pars tuberalis
pars intermedia
neurohypophysis (posterior lobe) contains what
pars nervosa
infundibular stem
median eminance
hormone release process in pituitary
made in anterior lobe and released by posterior lobe
anterior lobe function
hypothalamic hormones are carried through the hypophyseal portal veins to the anterior pituitary, regulating secretion of trophic hormones
ADH function
production and concentration of urine
oxytocin function
important near term of pregnancy, allow uterine contractions
important for lactation
craniopharyngiomas
most common pituitary tumor in children and adolescents
what is a craniopharyngioma
benign epithelial tumor arising from remnants of rathkes pouch
can be supra sellar or intra sellar (sella turcica)
symptoms of craniopharyngiomas
vision loss, diabetes insipidus
intrasellar cystic craniopharyngiomas route of surgical removal
intra nasal
suprasellar craniopharyngiomas info and route of surgical removal
grown within 3rd ventricle and can cause hydrocephalus
frontotemporal removal
pituitary adenoma effects
growth hormone production causing the liver to make IGF1
can cause body size changes
pituitary adenoma develops before epiphysis is fused
gigantism
pituitary adenoma forms after epiphysis is fused
growth in nose, hands, feet, maybe mandibular defects
superior parathyroid gland develops from which pharyngeal pouch
pouch 4
