Lab Exam 1 Flashcards
Has distinctive “pools” of colloid surrounded by follicle cells (simple cuboidal epithelium).
Thyroid gland
Looks like cobblestone street. The “stones” are arranged in distinctive columns are the colloid and the “mortar” is the follicle cells.
Thyroid gland
Hormones:
Calcitonin Thyroid Hormones (T4 & T3)

low
Hormones:

(Islets), (Acini)
Pancreas
Hormones:

Glucagon
Has a medulla and a cortex. The middle layer of the cortex has cells that are arranged in distinctive columns

PITUITARY GLAND (HYPOPHYSIS).
Has two parts:
Anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis), Posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis)
This side stains easily and the
appears darker. Produces and releases hormones.
Anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis)
The nervous tissue is hard to stain and you can almost see
the hypothalamic hypophyseal tract
Posterior pituitary (neurohypiphysis)
Hormones:
Adenohypophysis
FSH & LH
ACTH
TSH
GH
Prolactin
Hormones
Neurohypophysis
ADH
Oxytocin
Granulocytes
Basophils, Neutrophils, Eosinophils
Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes, Monocytes
releases chemical that mediate the inflammatory response
Basophils
phagocytes (acute infections)
Neutrophils
