    The pituitary gland is composed of:

    Anterior Part, Posterior Part

  • 4

    Anterior Pituitary Gland

    Pars Distalis, Pars Tuberalis, Pars Intermedia

  • 5

    • 75% of the Adenohypophysis • Two broad groups of cells based on staining affinity.

    Pars Distalis

  • 6

    Chromophils

    Acidophils, Basophils

  • 7

    Acidophils

    Somatotrophic, Mammotrophic

  • 8

    Basophils

    Gonadotrophic, Corticotrophic, Thyrotrophic

  • 9

    Degranulated Cells

    Chromophobes

  • 10

    Stimulates growth in epiphyseal plates of long bones via insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) produced in liver

    Somatotrophs

  • 11

    Promotes milk secretion

    Lactotrophs, Mammotrophs

  • 12

    FSH promotes ovarian follicle development and estrogen secretion in women and spermatogenesis in men; LH promotes ovarian follicle maturation and progesterone secretion in women and interstitial cell androgen secretion in men

    Gonadotrophs

  • 13

    Stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis, storage, and liberation

    Thyrotrophs

  • 14

    • Stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex hormones • Helps regulate lipid metabolism

    Corticotrophs

  • 15

    • Funnel – shaped region surrounding the infundibulum of the neurohypophysis • Most cells are basophilic gonadotrophic cells that secrete Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

    Pars Tuberalis

  • 16

    • Thin zone of basophilic cells • Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone • Endorphin

    Pars Intermedia

  • 17

    acts on all body tissues, especially cartilage, bone, muscle, and adipose connective tissue to stimulate growth.

    Growth Hormone

  • 18

    acts on the adrenal cortex to cause release of corticosteroids (eg, cortisol).

    Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

  • 19

    act on gonads (testes and ovaries) to stimulate development of gametes (sperm and oocyte)

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone

  • 20

    acts on mammary glands to stimulate milk production.

    Prolactin

  • 21

    stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone (TH).

    Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

  • 22

    • Vasopressin or Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • Response to increased tonicity of the blood • increased permeability of the collecting ducts of the kidney to water. As a result, more water is absorbed & replaced into blood instead of being eliminated in the urine.

    Supraoptic Nuclei

  • 23

    • Oxytocin • Stimulates contraction of the myoepithelial cells around the alveoli & ducts of the mammry glands & of uterine smooth muscle during child birth.

    Paraventricular Nuclei

  • 24

    are each covered by a dense connective tissue capsule that sends thin trabeculae into the gland’s parenchyma.

    Adrenal Gland

  • 25

    Adrenal glands are each covered by

    Dense Connective Tissue

  • 26

    The stroma consists in adrenal glands mainly of __________ supporting the secretory cells and microvasculature.

    Adrenal Medulla

  • 29

    Adrenal Cortex

    Zona Glomerulosa, Zona Fasciculata, Zona Reticularis

  • 30

    Mineralcorticoids: affect the uptake of Na, K, H2O – Principal Product: Aldosterone – Controlled by Angiotensin II

    Zona Glomerulosa

  • 31

    - Glucocorticoids: Cortisol (GLUCONEOGENESIS, GLYCOGENOLYSIS) – Controlled by ACTH

    Zona Fasciculata

  • 32

    Also produce cortisol but primarily secrete weak androgen.

    Zona Reticularis

  • 33

    The Adrenal Medulla contains many electron-dense granules for hormone storage & secretion.

    Chromaffin Cells

  • 34

    are released to the blood in large quantities during intense emotional reactions, such as fright & produce vasoconstriction, increase BP, changes in heart rate & metabolic effects such as increase blood glucose.

    Catecholamines

  • 35

    " Fight or Flight Response” ▪ Normal Activity = small quantities of the hormone

    Adrenal Medulla

  • 36

    Located in the cervical region anterior to the larynx, consists of 2 lobes united by an isthmus.

    Thyroid Gland

  • 37

    Thyroid Gland composed of millions of rounded epithelial structures called

    Thyroid Follicles

  • 38

    Each follicle of the thyroid gland consists of a simple epithelium and a central lumen filled with a gelatinous substance called

    Colloid

  • 39

    Thyroid colloid contains the large glycoprotein _________, precursor for the active thyroid hormones

    Thyroglobulin

  • 40

    major regulator of the anatomic & functional state of thyroid follicles.

    Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

  • 41

    Lactotrophs, Mammotrophs

  • 12

    FSH promotes ovarian follicle development and estrogen secretion in women and spermatogenesis in men; LH promotes ovarian follicle maturation and progesterone secretion in women and interstitial cell androgen secretion in men

    Gonadotrophs

  • 13

    Stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis, storage, and liberation

    Thyrotrophs

  • 14

    • Stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex hormones • Helps regulate lipid metabolism

    Corticotrophs

  • 15

    • Funnel – shaped region surrounding the infundibulum of the neurohypophysis • Most cells are basophilic gonadotrophic cells that secrete Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

    Pars Tuberalis

  • 16

    • Thin zone of basophilic cells • Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone • Endorphin

    Pars Intermedia

  • 17

    acts on all body tissues, especially cartilage, bone, muscle, and adipose connective tissue to stimulate growth.

    Growth Hormone

  • 18

    acts on the adrenal cortex to cause release of corticosteroids (eg, cortisol).

    Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

  • 19

    act on gonads (testes and ovaries) to stimulate development of gametes (sperm and oocyte)

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone

  • 20

    acts on mammary glands to stimulate milk production.

    Prolactin

  • 21

    stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone (TH).

    Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

  • 22

    • Vasopressin or Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • Response to increased tonicity of the blood • increased permeability of the collecting ducts of the kidney to water. As a result, more water is absorbed & replaced into blood instead of being eliminated in the urine.

    Supraoptic Nuclei

  • 23

    • Oxytocin • Stimulates contraction of the myoepithelial cells around the alveoli & ducts of the mammry glands & of uterine smooth muscle during child birth.

    Paraventricular Nuclei

  • 24

    are each covered by a dense connective tissue capsule that sends thin trabeculae into the gland’s parenchyma.
