Endocrine 1 Flashcards
oxytocin, hydrophili cell surface receptors
peptides
adrenaline, hydrophilic, cell surface receptors
monoamines
cortisol, lipophilic, sound to specific transfer protein
steroids
several diff. secretory non-neural cell types, each synthesizing + secreting a specific stim. hormone
anterior pituitary
contains axon terminal and neuron secretory cells that release AVP or OT
posterior pituitary
linked to hypothalmus by…
median eminence
PP, peptide hormones AVP/OT synthesized in the cell bodies of neurons in the PVN or SON
direct pathway
hormones stored in… in PP
Herrings bodies
AP, ‘releasing’ peptide hormones synthesized nerve cell bodies hypothal
Indirect pathways
stim production of stimulating hormones,
releasing peptide hormones
enter secretory capillaires for dis. to tissues
stimulating peptide hormones
neuroglial in nature
pituitaries
