Sl 11 Flashcards
Follicles in thyroid
Ring of follicular epithelial cells that contain a protein rich colloid
T4 concentration is greater in
Plasma
T3 concentration is greater in
Tissue
T4 is converted to t3 by
Deiodinases
Pathway of thyroxine and triiodothyronie secretion
Hypothalamus releases TRH that stimulates anterior pituitary to release TSH that acts on the thyroid
Thyroid hormone receptors are
Lipophillic and found in nucleus if effector cells
How does t3 maintain metabolism
Increases carbohydrate absorption from small intestine and increases fatty acid release from adiopocytes
Thyroid hormones up regulate
Beta adergenic receptors
Beta adrenergic receptors target
Catecholamimes
Hypothyroidism
Excess stimulation of thyroid gland by TSH but gland is defective and plasma thyroid remains low
Hypothyroidism can lead to developing a
Goiter
Hyperthyroidism
Antibodies bind to TSH receptors and overstimulate the gland
parathyroid hormone is controlled by
Mineral and ion concentrations in the blood
Decreased calcium will stimulate the
PTH
Cortisol is secrete from
Adrenal cortex s
Cytokines
Immune cells present during periods of inflammation
Cortisol affect on vasculature
Allows for redirection of blood flow to target tissue
Pancreas exocrine function
Central pancreatic duct delivers secretions to duodenum
Pancreas endocrine
Islet cells secrete hormones
Alpha cells secrete
Glucagon
Beta cells secrete
Insulin
