Cells and Tissues - Dr. Farmer - Test 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hormone | Produced by endocrine cells; Chemical messenger produced by 1 cell type which affects function of another cell (target cell); Target cells must have receptor specific for hormone; Secreted directly into blood or lymph |
| Endocrine Tissues | Frequently works in associate with NS; Isolated cells-enteroendocrine cells; Mass of endocrine cells embedded in exocrine glands-islets of Langerhans; Endocrine organs |
| Pituitary Gland | Hypophysis-Adenohypophysis (anterior) and Neurohypophysis (Posterior) |

| Adenohypophysis | Pars Distalis - 75% of pituitary; Chromophobes; Chromophils; Secretion regulated by hypothalamic releasing hormones |
| Chromophobes | Probably undifferentiated cells |
| Chromophils | Acidophils-Somatotropes-secrete hGH (somatotropin), affects epiphyseal plates, Mammotropes-secrete prolactin, stims milk secretion; Basophils-Thyrotropes-TSH-causes thyroid hormone secretion, Gonadotropes-FSH and LH |
| FSH | Female-ovarian follicle development; Males-SErtoli cell to secrete androgen binding protein |
| LH | Females-Maturation of follicle and maintains corpus luteum; Males-called ICSH-Leydig cells secrete testosterone |
| Corticotropes | Secrete ACTH-promotes growth of adrenal cortex and secretion of glucocorticoids and gonadocorticoids |
| Pars Nervosa | hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract; axons of neurons of supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei; Herring bodies-distal tips of axons; Oxytocin-paraventricular nucleus, stims smooth m. contraction of uterus and myoepithelial cells of mammary glands |
| Pars Nervosa continued | Vasopressin (ADH)-supraoptic nucleus-acts on DCTs of kidney making more permeable to H2O, generates hypertonic urine; Pituicytes-glial-like cells found in pars nervosa |
| Hypophyseal Blood Supply | Inferior hypophyseal aa. to neurohypophysis; Hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system-delivers hypothalamic regulating hormones to adenohypophysis, sup. hypophyseal aa. form primary capillary plexus around stalk and median eminence of hypothalamus |

| Hormones of Thyroid | Follicular hormones T3 and T4 stimulate metabolic rate; Calcitonin-lowers blood Calcium levels by inhibiting bone resorption |
| Parathyroid Glands | 2 pair-embedded on posterior of thyroid; Cords of chief cells (increase blood calcium by increasing # and activity of osteoclasts and decrease Phosphate by decreasing resorption in kidney tubules, promoting excretion) and oxyphil cells (unknown function) |

| Second Messengers | cAMP; IP3 and DAG; Calcium ions |
| cAMP | GTP-G-alpha activates adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP, which activates protein kinase A, which phosphorylates cellular proteins-produce different effects in different cell types-phosphodiesterase degrades cAMP |
| IP3 (inositol triphosphate) and DAG (diacylglycerol) | G protein or tyrosine kinase activates phospholipase C, which converts inositol phospholipid to IP3 and DAG, then IP3 binds to Ca channel protein and releases CA++, which binds to calmodulin and activates cell processes, |
| IP3 and DAG continued | The DAG activates protein kinase C, which phosphorylates cell proteins |
| Calcium ions | Elevated calcium binds to calmodulin; Calcium-calmodulin complex binds to kinase or phosphatase |
| Glycogen breakdown as an example of signal transduction in liver | Ligand-epi; Receptor-beta-adrenergic recep linked to G-protein; 2nd messenger-cAMP activates prot kinase A, causing cascade of phosphorylation events that ultimately activate enzymes that cleaves glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate; loss of cAMP inactivates |
| Glycogen breakdown continued | Protein kinase A and allows phosphatases to dephosphorylate enzymes, thus shutting down process |
