25
what are the 2 things produced by acidophils
- somatotrophs and mammotrophs
26
what is also known as the growth hormone that somatotrophs make
somatotropin
27
what stimulates the uptake of amino acids and protein synthesis
GH
28
what is made by mammotrophs that makes the mammary glands develop in pregnancy
prolactin
29
another name for mammotroph is
lactotroph
30
what are the three things in basophils
- thyrotrophs - gonadotrophs - corticotrpohs
31
what four hormones do basophils make
- TSH - LH _ FSH - ACTH
32
what pars has colloid filled follicles
pars intermedia
33
the basophils in the pars intermedia make what
MSH | melanocyte stimulating hormone
34
what pars surronds the neural stalk ( infundibulum stalk )
pars tubueralis
35
where s a multitude of unmyelinated axons and supportive cells found?
in the posterior pituitary gland
36
what is the name of the supporting cells that are in the posterior pit.
pituicytes ( supporting cells in the pars nervosa
37
where do the axons in the pars nervosa originate from
- supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei
38
most of the nuclei you see in the pars nervosa is form what
pituicytes
39
what are the hormones that come from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary stored as
herring body
40
what looks like cotton whool becuase of the numerous neuronal tissue
pars nervosa
41
what are the glial cells in the posterior pit.
pituicytes
42
what is one thign that is not in the neurohypophysis
blood vessels
43
what are the 2 hormones secreted in the hypothalamus
ADH ( antidiuretic hormone) / vasopressin oxytocin
44
what increases the permeability of the collecting tubules to water
ADH
45
what stimulates constraction of myoepithelial cells and ejection of milk
oxytocin
46
paraventricular nuclei produce?
oxytocin
47
supraorbital nuclei make what
ADH
48
herring bodies contain what
neurosecretory granules
49
the main blood supply to adenohypophysis is from the
ICA | - superior hypophyseal artery
50
what is the blood supply to the posterior pit
inferior hypophysial artery ( ICA Branch)
51
high levels of GH
gigantism
52
low levels of GH
dwarfism
53
what can tumors ( adenomas ) do
compress near by structures like the optic chiasm and form blindness
54
what is it called when there is excessive levels of GH after the fusion of the growth plate
acromegaly
55
what is it when ADH secretion fro neurohypophysis is reduced, becuase there is a damage to the neuron that makes ADH
neurogenic diabetes insipidus
56
what is the problem in neurogeneic diabetes
probelm wit ADH receptor
57
if there is ADH in the blood what does that mean
nephrogenic
58
if there si no ADH in the blood what does this mean
neurogeneic
59
what is the epithelium of the follicles in the thyroid gland
simple cuboidal
60
there is thyroglobulin where
colloid follicel
61
thyroxine is
T4
62
what are teh cells that produce thyroid hormones
follicular cells
63
what are follicular when they are active
tall cuboidal cells
64
what shape are follicualr cells when they are not active= hypothyroidism
squamos
65
when is thyroglobulin transformed into thyroxine
when it is taken up by epithelial cells
66
what are seen between colloid follicles
blood vessels
67
when the epithelium of the colloid follicle is flattened what does it mean
it is inactive
68
what is the functional state of the colloid follicle

69
when there is an active secretion what is the shape of the follicle
cuboidal or columnar
70
what is the active zone of the colloid follicle called

72
what do parafolliuclar cells ( C cells ) do
