Question
Answer
adrenal medulla arises from   neural crest cells; which also give rise to postganlionic neuron of the sympathetic division  
🗑
adrenal cortex is derived from   mesoderm  
🗑
adrenal cortex is composed of three zones   zona glomerulasa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis  
🗑
adrenal medulla secretes   epinephrine and norepinephrine  
🗑
why are epinephrine & norepinephrine considered neurohormones?   because adrenal medulla consists of same cells as postganglionic sympathetic neurons  
🗑
3 secretions of adrenal cortex   mineralocorticoids; glucocorticoids; and androgens  
🗑
adrenal cortex - all 3 secretions are similar   because they are steroids; highly specialized lipids drevied from cholesterol -  
🗑
hormones of the adrenal cortex bind to   intracellular receptors-stimulate syntheseis of specific proteins - then cell responds  
🗑
epinephrine does what??   increases blood levels of glucose  
🗑
how does epinephrine work?   combines with membrane-bound recpetor in liver cells; then liver catazlyze the breakdown of glycogen to glucose--then release glucose from the liver cells into the blood  
🗑
secretion of adrenal medullary hormones prepares the individual   for physical activity - is a major component of the fight-or-flight response  
🗑
how long do effects of epinephrine last?   measured in minutes  
🗑
what causes release of adrenal medullary hormones?   stress, physical activity & low blood glucose levels  
🗑
adrenal medulla is a specialized part   of the autonomic nervous system  
🗑
purpose of endocrine system (8)   ion regulation; metabolism; water balance; immune system regulation; heart rate & blood pressure regulation; control og blood glucose; control of reproductive function; uterine contraction & milk release  
🗑
Lab - hypothalamus   most inferior portion of diencephalon  
🗑
hypophyseal portal system   extends from part of hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary - carries hormones to anterior pituitary  
🗑
positive and negative feedback   the body seeks to maintain homeostasis; negative feedback is a mechanism whereby any deviation from the set point is made smaller or is resisted  
🗑
positive feedback   when a deviation from a normal value occurs, the response of the system is to make the deviation even greater - ex. birth another example extreme blood loss causes blood pressure to drop  
🗑
diabetes insipidus   chronic excretion of very large amounts of pale urine of low specia gravity, causing dehydration and extreme thirs; results from inadequate output of antidiuretic hormone; the hypothalamus sends to posterior pituitary  
🗑
which part of the pituitary is an extension of the hypothalamus?   exterior pituitary  
🗑
describe the embryonic origin of the adenohypophsis and neurohyopophysis   extension of hypothalamus  
🗑
what is the functions of thyroid follicle cell   storage of thyroglobin; which stores thyroid hormones  
🗑
describe in words location of thyroid   two lobes of tissue, connected by an isthmus, lateral to upper portion of trachea; inferior to hyoid bone  
🗑
when looking at slide of thyroid gland   open areas are thyroid follicles containg thyroblobulin COLLOID - the follicular cells surrounding the open area is a distinct area and PARAFOLLICULAR CELLS look like little feathers (they are lower right on the slide in book)  
🗑
