Lymphatic and Endocrine Flashcards
Lymphatic flow
Left 3/4 of body- drains into left thoracic duct into the left subclavian vein before internal carotid
Right upper 1/4 of body= drains into right thoracic duct into right subclavian vein before internal carotid
Areas of no Lymphatic drainage
CNS, Bone, Lungs…avascular regions
Large Lymph node regions
Head/Neck- submental, pre and post auricular, occipital, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, anterior/posterior cervical, and deep cervical
Axillary- medial, lateral, anterior, posterior, and axillary
Inguinal- superficial and deep
Abdominal/Thoracic- bundles along vena cavae and pulmonary hilum
Lymph Organs
Tonsils- pharyngeal, tonsil, lingual
Thymus, spleen, peyers patches, appendix
Hypothalamus
secretes releasing and inhibitory hormones to anterior pituitary, produces OXT & ADH
Pituitary
anterior and posterior- release hormones into blood
Thyroid Gland (function, lobes, nearby nerves)
Metabolism
right, isthmus, left lobe
adjacent nerves- vagus and recurrent laryngeal
Parathyroid Glands
4, monitory Ca2+ secrete PTH
Adrenal Glands
Cortex- cortisol, androgens, ADH
Medulla- E and NE
Pancreas (nearby nerve and function)
alpha (glucagon) and beta (insulin) cells
vagus nerve posterior
Pineal Gland
secretes Melatonin- circadian rhythm
Testicles and Ovaries
Gonadatropins, LH and FSH
LH- women–>progesterone, ovulation, and development of corpus luteum
men–> production of testosterone and sperm production
FSH- women–> estrogen, production of eggs
men–> production of sperm
