Endocrine 2

Question 1

in AP - give supportive fxn, secrete factors that act on paracrine factors

Answer 1

chromophilic cells

Question 2

in AP - increase # of secretory granules/vesicles that contain hormones

Answer 2

chromophobi cells

Question 3

vesicles react to acid dyes, stain pink bind eosin

Answer 3

acidophils

Question 4

vesicles react to basic dyes stain blue

Answer 4

basophils

Question 5

supportive cells –> chromophilic –> few secretory vesicles

Answer 5

foliiculostellate cells

Question 6

PP - neuroglial in nature

Answer 6

pituicytes

Question 7

Herring bodies packed with secretory vesicles for storage and secretion of peptide hormones

Answer 7

nervous material

Question 8

Thyroid - follicular ep. cells that syntheisize, store, secrete thyroid –>TSH from AP

Answer 8

Follicular Units

Question 9

Thyroid - increase Ca2+ ions by secretory hormone calcitonin; inhibts release of Ca2+ from bone
calcitonin released basally into CT, calcitonin then picked up by fenestrated capillaires

Answer 9

Parafollicular cell clusters

Question 10

Parathryoid gland - inactive, non secretory cells

Answer 10

oxyphil cells

Question 11

Parathyroid - chromophilic, secretory vesicles, respond to decreases in circulatory Ca2+ levels, secrete PTH, liberates Ca2+
stim. the intestinal ep. to increase Ca2+ absorption

Answer 11

chief cells
