Anatomy Flashcards
pituitary gland location
sella turcica of sphenoid bone
ant pituitary derived form
Rathkes pouch (diverticulum of stomodeum- primary oral cavity)
post pituitary derived from
diencephalon
primary blood supply of Neurohypophysis
inferior hypophyseal arteries
3 cell groups in ant pituitary
acidophils
basophils
chromophobes
acidophils
somatotrophs (GH)
lactotrophs (Prolactin)
basophils
gonadotrophs (LH, FSH)
Corticotrophs (ACTH)
thryrotophs (TSH)
brain releases
ANP
liver releases which hormone
IGF-1
Protein polypeptide hormones and released from
ANT Pituitary
Post pituitary
Pancrease - insuluin, glucagon
Parathyroid- PTH
Steriods secreted from
adrenal cortex- aldosterone, cortisol
ovaries + plancenta- estrogen, progesterone
testes- testosterone
derivative of amino acid TYROSINE
thyroid- T3, T4
adrenal medulla- epinephrine, NE
hormone release can be
Neural - ach , release
Hormonal- 1 hormone stim release of another
Humoral- in body fluids, respond to ions and changes in body
hormone receptor cells:
cell membrane surface- protein, peptide, catecholamine
cell cytoplasm- steroid
cell nucleus- Thyroid hormone
tyrosine Kinase receptors
insulin
growth factors
homodimers
steroid receptors: estrogen R, progesterone R, androgen R, glucocorticoid R
