Histology of Pituitary Gland Inactive gonadotropes thyrotropes corticotropes somatotropes lactotropes 17-2 Histology of the Thyroid Gland 17-4 Thyroid Gland • Thyroid follicles – filled with colloid and lined with simple cuboidal epithelial (follicular cells) that secretes two hormones, T3 and T4 – thyroid hormone • • • • • body’s metabolic rate and O2 consumption calorigenic effect - heat production heart rate and contraction strength respiratory rate stimulates appetite and breakdown CHO, lipids and proteins • C (calcitonin or parafollicular) cells – produce calcitonin that blood Ca2+ , promotes Ca2+ deposition and bone formation especially in children 17-6 Adrenal Gland 17-7 • Layers Adrenal Cortex – zona glomerulosa (outer) – zona fasciculata (middle) – zona reticularis (inner) 17-8 • Layers Adrenal Cortex – zona glomerulosa (outer) - aldosterone – zona fasciculata (middle) – zona reticularis (inner) 17-9 • Layers Adrenal Cortex – zona glomerulosa (outer) – zona fasciculata (middle) cortisol – zona reticularis (inner) note blood sinuses 17-10 • Layers Adrenal Cortex – zona glomerulosa (outer) – zona fasciculata (middle) – zona reticularis (inner) some sex steroids 17-11 Adrenal Medulla • Epinephrine • Chromaffin cells are modified neurons 17-12 Zona fasciculata Zona reticularis Zona glomerulosa Zona fasciculata Adrenal medulla Chromaffin cells
