lab 14 minus obvious shit Flashcards
circulating hormones
hormones that diffuse from ISF to nearby capillaries and are circulated in the blood
local hormones
hormones that act on nearby cells or the cell that secreted them
inactivated quicker that circulating hormones
in order for hormones to affect a cell:
the target cell must have receptors for the hormone, can be inside the cell or on the membrane
major endocrine structures (10)
pituitary
thyroid
parathyroid
suprarenal
pineal
hypothalamus
pancreas
ovaries
testes
thymus
endocrine vs exocrine glands
endo - secrete products directly into blood stream
exo - secrete products into ducts
infuncibular stalk
connects hypothalamus and pituitary
sella turcica
feature on the sphenoid bone that houses the pituitary
hypophyseal portal system function
carry hormones directly to anterior pituitary
number of hormones released by the anterior pituitary
7
what stimulates or inhibits release of anterior pituitary hormones
hypothalamic hormones
2 major hypothalamic hormones, and how they get to posterior pituiray
oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone
these hormones are packed in secretory vesicles and sent to posterior pituitary where they are stored
histology of pituitary gland (what you see on a slide)
lighter part - posterior pituitary
darker part - anterior
anterior - grainy appearance
pos - light pink and streaky
anterior pituitary hormones released (7)
growth hormone
thyroid stimulating hormone
follicle stimulating hormone
luteinizing hormone
prolactin
adrenocorticotropic hormone
melanocyte-stimulating hormone
lots of stimulating hormones
growth hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
anterior pituitary, goes to liver/bone/ muscle/cartilage, stimulates liver to release growth factors that promote growth in body tissues
thyroid sitmulating horone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
anterior pituitary, thyroid, stimulates secretion of thhyroid hormones by the thyroid gland
follicle stimulating hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
anterior pituitary, ovaries/testes, in females it stimulates development of oocytes and estrogens and in males it stimulates testes to make sperm
lureinizing hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
anteriro pituitary, ovaries/testes, stimulates secretion of estrogens/porgesterone/ovulation in females and testes ot make sperm in males
prolactin (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
Anterior pituitary, goes to glandular cells of mammary glands, promotes milk production
adrenocorticotropic hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
anterior pituitary, goes to suprarenal cortex, stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids
melanocyte-stimulating hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do
anterior pituitary, goes to brain, may influence brain activity and darken skin in large amounts
posterior pituitary hormones (2)
oxytocin
antidiuretic hormone
not produced here, just stored
oxytocin (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
posterior pituitary, goes to smooth muscle in uterus and mammary glands, stimulates contraction of these muscles during birth / milk ejection
antidiuretic hormone (released by, where does it go, what does it do)
posterior pituitary, goes to kidneys/sweat glands/arterioles, decreases water loss via urine and sweat, increased BP by contricting arterioles
histology of thyroid gland (what youd see on a slide)
large oval sacs - fossicles
T thrombocytes form the walls of the fossicles (cuboidal cells)
between fossicles, there is cuboidal cells called C thrombocytes, located between fossicles
parathyroid gland histology (what youd see on a slide)
dense mass of cuboidal cells with lost of capillaries
dense principle and pale principle parathyroid cells cannot be seen on our slides
goiter
englarged thyroid gland, fossicles are 2-3x the size
thyroid gland hormones (2 from difference sources)
triiodothyronine/thyroxine
calcitonin
triiodothyronine / thyroxine (released by, where does it go, what does it do, what cells release it)
thyroid gland, circulates, increases BMR and protien synthesis, released by T thrombocytes in the thyroid
calcitonin (released by, where does it go, what does it do, what cells release it)
thyroid gland, circulated, lowers calcium blood levels by inhibiting osteoclasts, released by C thrombocytes in thyroid
parathyroid hormones (1)
parthormone or parathyroid hormone
