Q

G-Protein is a Perfect Example of What?

A

Q

Glands of the Endocrine System

A

Pituitary Gland - Master gland. Produces about 7 hormones. Also known collectively as the hypophysis.

Location is: Resides within the Sella Turcica, turkish saddle. Connected to the Hypothalamus via through the infundibulum. Divot in the center of the sella turcica is Hypophyseal Fossa because it resides within that structure.

Q

Anterior Pituitary Gland

A

known as the Adenal Hypophysis - Adenal means “Glands” or “Glandular”. Adenal Carcoma - Glandular tumor or Adenoma is a glandular tumor. Adenal Carconoma is a pancreatic cancers.

Q

Rathke’s Pouch

A

is the portion of the pharynx that invaginates and moves posteriorly that becomes the anterior pituitary gland.

the pharyngeal tissue that pulls backwards and separates from the pharynx that becomes a separate structure: The Anterior Pituitary Gland

Q

Phosphodiasterase (PDE)

A

breaks down cAMP after its been formed. We don’t want cAMP turned on all the time. So we activate it, we make cyclic amp which it is the secondary messenger and after we do that we want to break it down immediately to AMP (Adenosine Monophosphate)

Q

Blood Flow for the Anterior Pituitary Gland

A

There’s a vessel that comes in through the top and the bottom. The entire pathway or blood supply is known as the Hypothalamic Hypophyseal Portal System. A vessel comes into the capillary bed and down below there is another capillary bed. Because we start up in the hypothalamus, and then we end up down in the hypophysis in the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the master gland.

Q

Hypothalamic Hypophyseal Portal System

A

is a connected blood supply between those two structures that allows the releasing hormones, coming from the hypothalamus, to have an effect on the anterior pituitary gland. These hormones can be produced in very small amounts.

Q

Process of the Releasing Hormones

A

Releasing hormones go down and end up in the blood supply to go to the Anterior Pituitary Gland where they are simply diffused and end up by telling the Pituitary Gland to do what it’s suppose to do, release this hormone and that hormone.

Q

Why do we call it a Portal System or Portal Vessel?

A

Because it is a vessel located between two capillary beds.

17
Q

3 Different Cell Types

A

Acidophiles

Basophils

Chromophobes

18
Q

Acidophiles

A

stain pink

Secrete : HGH produces cells and the prolactin producing cells.

Acid Stains - more of a pink color stain; Some cells will pick it up, some won’t pick it up.

19
Q

Basophils

A

Have a more dark purple blue stains

Secrete: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Lutenizing Hormone, Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone

20
Q

Chromophobes

A

Don’t pick up color. They are clear stained

21
Q

Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Gland

A

hGH - Human Growth Hormone

22
Q

hGH

A

Human Growth Hormone also known as Somatotropin, soma means body, tropin means growth effect. It causes body growth.

23
Q

3 Functions of hGH

A
  1. Responsible for cell growth and multiplication.
  2. Allows protein to be shuttled into the cell via the cAMP pathway. Tissue re-generation. Google: Jeffrey Life.
  3. hGH will increase mitotic activity meaning potential for tumor growth and hGH will increase lipid and glucose metabolism.
24
Q

Negative Feedback Loop

A

Decrease in blood sugar that’s gonna go to the hypothalamus. HGH is involved in sugar metabolism

HGH goes into the Anterior Pituitary Gland, which releases hGH. hGH has a large effect on the liver. And the liver will then release IGF’s, also known as Somatomedians. Also it will release sugar.

25
Q

RH

A

Releasing Hormone

26
Q

Glycogen is stored where?

A

Liver and the Muscles

27
Q

Glycogen breaks down into what? And what does it do?

A

Glycogen is broken down into glucose while you’re resting. Increase in hGH will cause an increase sugar release which will cause a corresponding response in the hypothalamus which causes a decrease in HGH.

28
Q

TSH

A

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. Also known as Thyrotrophin. It’s job is to stimulate synthesis and secretion of hormones produced by the thyroid gland.

Stimulating hormone from the Pituitary Glands

29
Q

TH-RH

A

Thyroid Hormone Releasing Hormone comes from the hypothalamus to stimulate TSH, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, production.

30
Q

ACTH

A

Adrenal Corticotropin Hormone - Adrenal growth releasing hormone. Tell the adrenal cortex to release it’s hormones.

31
Q

CRH

A

Corticotropin Releasing Hormone; So if we are talking about the Hypothalamus, it’s corresponding hormone, we don’t call it ACTH, normally called CRH.

32
Q

FSH

A

Follicle Stimulating Hormone - found in men and women. Involved in stimulating follicle production of ovaries in women.

33
Q

SSH

A

Stimulates sperm production in males. Stimulating Sperm Hormone

34
Q

GNRH

A

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone - effect on men and women causing Follicle Stimulating Hormone to be released.
