Q

What are the physical properties of endocrine glands?

A
  • Lose contact with surface epithelium
  • Non-polarized cells with non-polarized secretion​​
  • Little RER

NOTE: The thyroid gland is one exception to this rule

Q

How do warmth and cold regulate TSH secretion?

A
  • Cold acts on the hypothalamus stimulating the release of TRF.
  • TRF stimulates the anterior pituatary to release TSH
  • TSH stimulates the thyroid to release free T3 and T4, causing you to feel warmth
    • T3 and T4 then send negative feeback signals to the anterior pituatary and the hypothalamus to inhibit release of those hormones

Q

What causes the eye to protrude in patient’s with Grave’s disease?

A

Edema behind the eye

NOTE: Grave’s disease is characteristic of hypersecretion of thyroid hormones

Q

Why is low iodine associated with goiters?

A

If you don’t get enough iodine the thyroid gland will continously make thyroglobulin and will secrete that into the extracellular space but it will never make the complet hormone because of the lack of iodine. When the gland gets larger you get a goiter.

Q

How do you distinguish between parafollicular cells (C cells) and follicle cells?

A
  • C cells are larger and more lightly stained than follicle cells.
  • C cells don’t touch the lumen

Q

What are the effects of PTH?

A
  • Raises blood calcium levels
  • Increased reabsorption of calcium in proximal convuluted tubules
  • Stimulates osteoclastic activity
  • Increased absorption of calcium from GI tract when calcium is present in the diet.

NOTE: PTH is secreted by the principal (chief) cells of parathyroid gland

20
Q

The adrenal cortex is derived from ___________ and secretes __________. The adrenal medulla is derived from __________ and secretes _____________.

A

Mesoderm; steroid hormones

Neural crest; catecholamines

21
Q

What are the three distinct layers of the adrenal cortex?

A
  • Zona Glomerulosa
  • Zona Fasciculata
  • Zona Reticularis
22
Q

Zona Glomerulosa (Images)

A
23
Q

Zona Fasciculata (Images)

A
24
Q

The cells of the zona fasciculata are termed _______.

A

Spongiocytes

NOTE: Lipid-filled cells are arranged in long rows between fenestrated capillaries.

25
Q

What at the components of the lipid droplets found in spongiocytes?

A
  • sER
  • Cholesterol
  • Mitochondria filled with tubular cristae
  • Lipofusin

Q

Islet of Langerhans

A
30
Q

Cells of the islet of langerhan. What hormones are secreted by each?

A
  • Alpha- Glucagon
  • Beta- Insulin
  • Delta- Somatostatin
  • F Cells- Pancreatic polypeptide
31
Q

Of the glucose transporters, which is insulin- independent?

A

GLUT-2

NOTE: GLUT2 transports glucose to insular cells and hepatocytes

32
Q

________ is insulin-dependent and serves to remove glucose from blood.

A

GLUT2

33
Q

What are the two types of diabetes and what are the characteristics of each?

A
  • Type I
    • ​Juvenile onset
    • Due to an autoimmune attack upon islets
  • Type II
    • ​Adult onset
    • Involves resistance of tissues to effects of insulin

NOTE: Type II diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure, and amputations

A
  • Somatotrophs
    • ​Growth hormone (GH)
  • Mammotrophs
    • ​Prolactin
38
Q

What cells of the anterior pituatary constitute as basophils? What hormones are secreted by each?

A
  • Thyrotrophs
    • ​Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  • Gonadotrophs
    • ​Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
    • Luteinizing hormone (LH)

    • Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
39
Q

Where are MSH- secreting cells found?

A

In the pars intermedia

40
Q

Which two cells of the anterior pituatary have the largest vesicles?

A
41
Q

Components of the neural lobe of the pitutary

A
  • Nerve terminals from vasopressin and oxytocin neurons
  • Glia called pituicytes
42
Q

Which hormones are found in the neurohypophysis?

A
  • Vasopressin
    • ​Lack of vasopressin leads to diabetes insipidus
  • Oxytocin
    • ​Stimulates milk release from the mammary gland
43
Q

Herring bodies

A

Herring bodies are large amorphous nerve terminals

NOTE: Vasopressin is stored in herring bodies and when need is released. Oxytocin is found in a seperate set of terminal in the posterior lobe
