Endocrine Part 2 Flashcards
how do thyroid hormones regulate basal metabolic rate
positively
exogenous administration of thyroid hormone does what
restores normal bone growth
lack of iodine during pregnancy can lead to ?
crietinism
when will you see a hypertrophy of the thyroid gland and goiter
hypothyroidism
where are the “goiter belts”
- Great Lakes
2. mountainous regions of the Alps, Andes, and HImalayas
when there is a goiter, on a histological slide there will be follicular cell hyperplasia that will form papillations that extend to what
the lumen
graves disease is an autoimmune disease that is what?
hyperthyroidism
when will there be an increased level of thyroxine and hyperplasia of the thyroid gland follicular epithelium
hyperthyroidism
what do patients clinically present with when they have hyperthyroidism
heart palpitations and tachycardia and exophtalamoses ( bulging of the eyes)
where is the parathyroid gland located
on the posterior surface of the thyroid
what does paratormone do
increases blood calcium level
parathormone has receptors on what bone cell
osteoblasts
what are scattered throughout the parathyroid gland and increase as you age
adipocytes
what is the parathyroid gland derived from embryologically?
3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouches
what are the 2 cells in the parathyroid ( excluding adipocytes)
- principal cells
- oxyphil cells
what is another name for the principle cells in the parathyroid gland
chief cells
what cell in the parathyroid is small with a large nucleus and secrete parathormone
cheif cells ( principle cells)
what cells in the parathyroid are large and have a small nucleus and a centrally placed nuclei.
oxyphil cells
what is the function of oxyphil cells
unknown
how are oxyphil cells grouped? what do they look like on a slide
clusters
what kind of staining are oxyphil cells
eosinophillic
parathormone and calcitonin are examples of what hormones, becuase they either decrease or increases calcium in serum
calcitropic hormones
parathyroid hormone does what for bone resorption
enhances it
calcitonin lowers what two things
blood calcium and phosphorus levels
what is another name for adrenal gland
supra renal gland
what are the two major parts of the supra renal gland
cortex and medulla
what makes up the cortex of the adrenal gland
- zona glomerulosa
- zona faciculata
- zona reticularis
what happens to hormones in the medulla of the adrenal gland
they are stored in the form of granules
what part of the adrenal gland secretes hormones
the cortex
what is made in the zona glomerulosa
mineralocorticoids
what is made in the zona fasciculata
glucocorticoids
what is made in the zona reticularis
weak androgens
what do the cells in the cortex of the adrenal gland have an abundence of
- mitochondria
- lipid
- SER
what causes the reabsorptin of sodium and cloride and helps increase blood volume and blood pressure will increase? what layer of the adrenal cortex makes this
mineralocor-ticoids
zona glomerulosa
