26
Q

Derived embryologically from epidermal ectoderm from an infolding of Rathke’s pouch

A

Anterior “Adenohypophysis”

27

Posterior or Neurohypophysis BS

A

Superior, middle, inferior hypophyseal arteries

31
Q

Composed exclusively of neural tissue

Hypothalamic magnocellular system
- supraoptic nuclei and paraventricular nuclei

A

Posterior or Neurohypophysis

32
Q

Secrete synthetic products from their axonal boutons into general circulation to act as hormones:
Oxytocin and AVP

A

Posterior or Neurohypophysis

33
Q

Decapeptide from arcuate nucleus

A

GnRH or LHRH

34
Q

Potential inhibitor of PRL and stimulator of gonadotropin release

A

GnRH-associated peptide (GAP)

35
Q

Simultaneously regulates FSH and LH

Continual pulsatile secretion:

  • short half-life
  • autoprimes or upregulates GnRH receptors
A

GnRH

36
Q

Frequent small amplitude

A

Follicular

37
Q

39
Q

Progressive lengthening of interval between pulses, higher amplitude than in follicular phase that progressively declines

A

Luteal

40
Q

Increased receptor affinity or decreased degradation

A

Agonists

41
