2 types of glands |
exocrine and endocrine |
|
glands are made up of |
glandular tissue is from embryological epithelium |
|
glandular epithelium are |
specialized cells that synthesize, store and secrete chemical substances |
|
gland development |
upper layer: epithelium yellow area: connective tissue |
|
|
endocrine gland |
|
|
exocrine gland |
|
exocrine glands |
release secretions into ducts that carry secretions to body surface ex. sweat, mammary, salivary |

|
sinusoid are |
large extracellular spaces |
|
endocrine system |

homeostasis |
|

|
nervous system produces responses that |
1. are highly specific 2. act over the short term; milliseconds to minutes |
|
nervous system responses generated by neurons |

1. may affect many different tissues and organs simultaneously 2. act over long duration: minutes to days |
|
endocrine system responses produced by hormones |
1. signals are chemical substances 2. released by endocrine glands 3. circulate in bloodstream throughout the body |
|
A hormone is a chemical messenger that: |
1. is produced by an endocrine cell or tissue 2. travels through the circulatory system to reach other tissues 3. acts upon specific target cells within the tissue |
|
hormone actions |
1. hormones bind to specific cellular receptors 2. presence or absence of a receptor determines the cell's response to a hormone 3. changing the # of receptors changes the cell's sensitivity to the hormone |

pituitary gland is anchored to... |
floor of cranium |
|
why 2 different parts of the pituitary glands |
the neurohypophysis is a bud from growing brain tissue anterior lobe goes from a bud in neural tissue |
|
anterior pituitary hormones |

|
HgH |
stimulates body growth and metabolism |
|
thyroid stimulating hormone |
controls thyroid gland function |
|
Follicle Stimulating hormone/ Leutinizing hormone |
control secretion of sex hormones and production of gametes |
|
Prolactin |
stimulates milk production |
|
Adrenocorticotropic hormone |
controls hormone secretion by adrenal cortex |
|
Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone |
stimulates melanin secretion |
|
posterior Pituitary hormones |
1. Vasopressin 2. oxytocin |
|
Vasopressin |
1. AKA Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) 2. regulates concentration of urine 3. functions in the regulation of blood pressure |
|
oxytocin |
1. stimulates uterine muscle contraction during childbirth 2. stimulates release of milk from mammary glands, not the actual release |
|
hypothalamus |
1. where vasopressin and oxytocin are made 2. goes out to the synaptic bouton to a blood vessel to be distributed by the systemic vasculature |
|
hypothalamic hyophyseal portal system clockwise |
1. paraventricular nucleus (oxytocin) 2. superior hypophyseal artery 3. portal veins 4. inferior hypophyseal artery 5. posterior pituitary 6. hypophyseal veins 7. anterior pituitary 8. secondary capillary plexus 9. primary capillary plexus 10. supraoptic nucleus (vasopressin) |
|
hypothalamus |
1.. secretes releasing/ hypophyseotropic factors that act on cells of the anterior pituitary 2. hormones of the posterior pituitary produced in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of hypothalamus |
|
production of thyroid hormones precursor |
1. follicle secrete hormone precursor called thyroglobulin into follicle called thyroglobulin in the cavity |
|
production of thyroid hormones |
1. When stimulated by TSH, follicle cells convert thyroglobullin to thyroid hormones thyroxine T4 and triiodothyronine T3 |
|
thyroid hormones dissemination |
1. follicle cells secrete T3 and T4 into connective tissue between follicles 2. hormones picked up by capillaries |
|
