Endocrine Flashcards
Endocrine cells in body are:
Embedded singly or in clusters in organs such as Interstial cells of the kidney
Enterodocrine cells in the GIT
Interstitial cells of leydig in testis
Distance organs ‘ Endocrine glands
Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid Adrenal, Pineal
Defined component structures of organisms
Endocrine portion of hypothalamus
Islets of Langerhans in pancreas
Hypothalamus
Produces two groups of hormones
Posterior pituitary hormones ADH and oxytocin
Hypophysiotropic hormones
Posterior pituitary hormones
Synthesized by mag no cellular located in the Supra optic and paraventicualr nuclei of the m]hypothalamus
Oxytocin
In women stimulates smooth muscle contraction and aids in child birth
For men it is the sperm transport
Mammals - ejection of milk alveoli
Antidurietic hormone
Increases permeability tubules of the kidney (distal and convoluted) leads to concentrated urine
Types of hypo-hysiotropic hormones
+ releasing hormone after name
Corticotropin
Thryotropin
Growth hormone
Gondaotropin
Hypophysiotropic hormone
Synthesize in paravocellualr r located at periventicular and para ventricular of nuclei
Function of Hypophysiotropic
Regulate activity of secretory cells and pituitary glands
Pituitary gland
Ovoid body attached to inferior of hypothalamus
2 district part of pituitary
Neurohpyhysis posterior pituitary
Adenohypohis anterior pituitary
Neurohypophisis 3 regions (MIN)
Median eminences, Infundibulum, Nervosa
Median eminence
Downward continuation of hypothalamus, where the unmyelinated axons terminate.
Proximal portion, has something with parvocellular
Herring bodies
Very stained due to basophilic aggregation of granules in axonal dilations in pars nervosa and infundibulum
Pituitcytes
Non secretory supporting cells, similar morphologically to astrocytes are stellate cells
Adenohypophysis physiology
More cellular than neuro, produces hormones
Neurohypophysis parts (APS)
Not a gland only stores
Axons of sectors neurons
Piuticytes
Sinusoids/Fenestrated capillaries
3 regions of Adeno (DTI)
Pars distal is, Pars tuberalis, Pars intermedia
Pars distalis (anterior love)
70% of pituitary
Almost all hormones come from posterior lobe
2 types of parenchyma cells
2 types of parenchyma; cells
Cromophils
Chromophobes
Philis- cytoplasm is insanely colored
Phobe - pale staining majority of parenchyma
Phobes 65% phils 35%
