Endo: Pineal/Hypoth./Pit. Flashcards
Types of Hormone control
Endocrine
Paracrine
Autocrine
Endocrine hormone control
Cell release horm. across BsM and CT
-enter cap. w/ fenestration/discont’
Goes to blood to go to target
Paracrine hormone control
Release Hormone have on neighbor cell underline CT
Hormone sig. types
cell surface recept. sig.
Nuclear initiated steroid sig.
Memb. initiated steriod sig.
Cell surface recept.
Non lipid horm.
G prot. –>2nd messenger–>DNA transcrip./ion channles
Memb.-initiated steroid
Lipid horm.
Recep. in Caveolae
- ~ sig. as non-lipid
-action on DNA transcript./+ion channels or nuclei
Nuclear initiated steroid
MC sex horm./glucocorticode
Recep. in cyto. or nucleus for DNA transcrib. or +dna
aka name/location of pineal gland
AKA Epiphysis cerebri
Midbrain w/in ventricle wall post
-flattened, pine cone shape structure
Pineal gland production
Melatonin
Melatonin
Inhibits gonadal horm. in humnas -re. reproductive function -inhibt. GnRH production in pit. Reg. diurnal cycle -by light control in retina :Dark/nihgt=+melatonin :light/day= - melatonin Reg. NT=Serotinin, N. EPI, dopamin and histamine
Pineal gland cells
Pinealcytes and glial cells
Pinealcytes
W/in parenchyma
Produce melatonin
W/in lobules: clumps/cords surrounded by CT septa
Lrg nucleus w/ prom. nucleolus/nucleoli
Lipid droplet in cytop.
Typical N. endocrine cells=cytop. porcess contact w/ BV
-~ axon/dendrites
Glial Cells
W/in interstial cell
only 5% cells
~ astrocyte/puricytes
Brain sand
Corpora Arenacea
Corpora Arenacea location
