Q

What are the steps that occur in adenohypophysis and the hormones that secreted in each part?

20
Q

What are the 6 hormones secreted hypothalamo-pituitary target organ? which are tropic and which are not tropic?

A
  1. Growth hormone (GH)
  2. (Insulin like growth factor) IGF
  3. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
  4. Luteinising hormone (LH) FSH
  5. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
  6. Prolactin (PRL)
    all tropic except PRL is not tropic because it secretes milk
21
Q

Explain the control of pituitary secretion and what affect does it have?

A

Tropic affect

22
Q

Nervous tissue in the pituitary gland

A

Neurohypophysis

23
What are the two neurohormones secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland?
1. antidiuretic hormone(ADH) -reabsorption of water 2. oxytocin
24
Lable the Neurohypophysis of a pituitary gland

29
What is another name for the adrenal gland?
Suprarenal Glands
30
What are the Zonas of the adrenal medulla?
31
The adrenal cortex secretes what hormones?
adrenocorticoids (steriod hormones)
32
What are the three adrenocorticoids?
33
Regulate Na+ reabsorption/ K+ secretion in kidneys
Mineralocorticoids
34
mineralocorticoids are primarily? and what zona are they found?
primarily aldosterone Zona Glomerulosa
35
regulate stress responses, substrate metabolism, blood glucose leves
Glucocortocoids (stress hormone)
36
Glucocortocoids are primarily? and found in what zona?
primarily cortisol zona fasciculata
37
secreted in much greater amounts by gonads
sex hormones
38
sex hormones are primarily? and found in what zona?
primarily androgens zona reticularis
39
What cells are found in the adrenal medulla and what do they secrete?
chromaffin cells secrete catecholamines
40
What are the two types of catecholamines?
1. 80% Epinephrine (adrenaline) 2. 20% Norepinephrine
41
The adrenal medulla has what type of affect?
sympathetic affect
42

43
What are the cells found in the pancreas and what do they secrete?
1. alpha cell (secretes glucagon) 2. Beta cell (secretes Insulin)
44
What is the difference between the exocrine and endocrine pancreas?
exocrine - goes to the lumen of the GI track Endocrine - goes to the bloodstream
45
Explain what occurs in the pancreas
46
