What to look for in PTH microscope slide
Small and will see the whole thing no matter the magnification
What to look for in a hypothalamus microscope slide
Nike symbol
What to look for in pancreas slide
islets of Langerhans
What to look for in pituitary gland slide
Distinct anterior and posterior
What to look for in thyroid gland slide
Colloid: acellular pink material surrounded by simple cuboidal cells
Thyroid follicles
Cells between the follicles: Parafollicular cells
Adrenal cortex produces this group of hormones
Corticosteroids
Gland that increases blood pressure and heart rate when the body experiences stress
Adrenal medulla (epi and norepi)
The sensory receptors in the skin detect a decrease in the temperature of the environment, and neural signals are sent to the ______ causing the release of this hormone _____
Hypothalamus; thyrotropin-releasing hormone
This hormone is released in the hypophyseal portal system and travels to the ______ ______ _______ causing the release of this hormone ______
Anterior pituitary gland; TSH
This hormone is released into the general circulation and travels to the ______ _____, causing the release of T3/T4
Thyroid gland
