Questions and answers latest update
what do endocrine cells release -CORRECTANSWER hormones
what is the difference between paracrine secretion and endocrine secretion -
CORRECTANSWER paracrine secretion the hormones affects adjacent cells,
endocrine secretion the hormones diffuse into the capillaries and are transported into
the blood
endocrine organs are highly vascularized with what types of capillaries -
CORRECTANSWER fenestrated
what are the three components of the endocrine system -CORRECTANSWER
individual cells, clusters of cells, organs
what's an example of individual cells in the endocrine system -CORRECTANSWER
enteroendocrine cells
what are examples of cluster of cells in the endocrine system -CORRECTANSWER
islets of Langerhans (pancreas), interstitial cells (testis), Theca interna (ovary)
,what are the endocrine system organs -CORRECTANSWER pituitary, thyroid,
parathyroid, adrenal, pineal
what are the hormone types and give examples -CORRECTANSWER - steroids and
fatty acid derivative: cortisol, testosterone
- amino acid derivatives: thyroxine, epinephrine
- peptides and proteins: insulin, growth hormone
what are the two glands of the pituitary gland -CORRECTANSWER adenohypophysis
(anterior) and neurohypophysis (posterior)
what is the bulk of the adenohypophysis called that contains the secretory cells -
CORRECTANSWER Pars distalis - all the functional action
what are the two subdivisions of the neurohypophysis (posterior) -CORRECTANSWER
infundibulum and pars nervosa
in the adenohypophysis, what are the three general cell types -CORRECTANSWER
acidophils, basophils, and chromophobes
what are acidophils and what are their specific cell types -CORRECTANSWER
hormone-containing granules in the cytoplasm stain with red acidic dyes; somatotropes
and lactotropes
,what do somatotropes secrete -CORRECTANSWER somatotropin; growth hormone
(GH) - promotes growth (anabolic)
what do lactotropes secrete -CORRECTANSWER prolactin - stimulates milk production
what are basophils and what are their specific cell types -CORRECTANSWER
hormone-containing granules in the cytoplasm of these cells stain with basic dyes
(blue/purple); thyrotropes, gonadotropes, adrenocorticotropes
what do thyrotropes secrete -CORRECTANSWER thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH);
stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis and release
what do gonadotropes secrete -CORRECTANSWER lutenizing hormone (LH) and
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH); regulates egg and sperm maturation and sex
hormone
what do adrenocorticotropes -CORRECTANSWER adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH); regulates glucorticoid secretion by adrenal gland
what are chromophobes -CORRECTANSWER cells with sparse granule content that
don't stain with either hematoxylin or eosin
, give the overall direction of axons in the brain -CORRECTANSWER neurons produced
in hypothalamus, go to primary capillary plexus, go to hypophyseal portal vessels,
infundibulum, secondary capillary plexus, target acidophil or basophil cell
where is the primary capillary plexus located -CORRECTANSWER base of the
hypothalamus in a region called median eminence
where is the secondary capillary plexus located -CORRECTANSWER within the
adenohypophysis
what are neurosecretory neurons -CORRECTANSWER a hormone that tells another
hormone to secrete, which tells the final hormone/effect on body to secrete
andeohypophysis (anterior pituitary) -CORRECTANSWER where in the brain is this
located
pars distalis -CORRECTANSWER where specifically in the adenohypophysis is this
located
chromophobe -CORRECTANSWER what cells are these
basophil -CORRECTANSWER what cells are these
