Term
pituitary gland (hypophysis)
Definition

1)makes hormones to control every endocrine structure.

2)Connected to hypothalmus

3)made up of nervous and glandular tissue

 

Term

pituaitray gland development

 

Neuroectoderm

 

Rathke's pouch

Definition

1) neural structures are derived from neuroectoderm of diencephalons (infundibulum).

2) is connected to CNS

 

 

3) embryonically, a surface ectoderm projection from oral cavity.

4) no connection to stomadeum--starts as hollow structure from adenohyphosis. 

Term

Pituitary anatomy

7 parts

Definition

Posterior Lobe

Anterior Lobe

Adenohypophysis

Neurohyophysis

Pars Intermedia

Hypothalamo-Adenohypophyseal Portal System

Hypothalamo Hypophyseal Tract

Term

 Hypothalamo-Adenohypophyseal Portal System

Definition

Venous Portal System from brain (hypothalamus) to Adenohypophysis.

 

Direct transport of releasing factors which tell the capillary bed stimulate the pars distalis of the Adenohyophysis to release GH, TSH,ACTH,LH,FSH,MSH

Term

Hypothalamo Hypophyseal Tract

“Hypophyseal Tract”

Definition

§                  Unmyelinated Fibers pass from the brain (hypothalamus) via the Infundibular Stalk to the Pars Nervos

Term
Adenohypophysis
Definition
(Anterior Region)(comes from Rathke’s Pouch)Wraps tissue around the Infundibular stalk.(Dark Staining)

 

Term
Pars Distalis
Definition

Bulk of pituitary gland

Makes numerous (6) hormones

Largest region. Cells are hard to classify:

 Chromophils pick up color, Chromophobes don't

Term

liver

 

Venous portal system

Definition

artery caries blood to a capilary.

vessel carries blood from 1st capilary to a 2nd

vein carries blood away from 2nd into venous return

Term
liver lobule
Definition

a central vein surronded by portal triads

 

looks hexagonal, and is considered classic liver arrangemnt

Term
hepatocytes
Definition

makes up 90% of liver

paranchyma of liver--does pretty much all function

 

loaded with mitochondria

has exocrine and endocrine fx. within one cell

produce bile

hardly any con. tissue-heavy drinkers have more

Term
sinusoid
Definition

carry blood from portal triad to the central vein.

Term
canaliculus
Definition

a channel b/t hepatocytes through which bile flows

 

flows in opposite direction of blood, away from portal triad

Term
kuppfer cell
Definition

macrophages that line the liver sinusoids.

are phagocytic

 

macrophages of liver

Term
space of disse
Definition

b/t sinusoid and hepatocyte

a smaller cell (ITO cell) is in this space-stores fat

vitamin A

 

Term
Chalone
Definition

a molecule that when low signals mitosis and allows liver tissue to regenerate.

 

chalone levels drop when liver tissues dies 

 

maintaining a normal level of this will keep you healthy

 

Term
gal bladder
Definition

muscular storage pouch for bile

 

musculara externa contract and dump bile into duodenum

Term
kidneys
Definition

filter 1 liter of blood/minute

most just passes through, and is returned to blood-very little is excreted.

acts as blood filter
