  • HYPOTHALAMUS – PITUITARY-ADRENAL AXIS Learning Objectives OVERVIEW FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
    Introductory Human Physiology ©copyright Emma Jakoi HYPOTHALAMUS – PITUITARY-ADRENAL AXIS Emma R. Jakoi, Ph.D. Learning objectives • Describe the structural and functional organization of the adrenal gland. • Describe the synthesis and secretion of cortical adrenal hormones. • Describe the mechanism of action and physiologic effects of adrenal hormones. • Explain the control of adrenal hormone synthesis and secretion. Describe the major feedback loops that integrate the hypothalamic axis and body homeostasis. • Explain the physiologic roles of the adrenal hormones in normal physiology. OVERVIEW The adrenal glands maintain homeostasis in response to stress. Three major classes of hormones are secreted by these glands: aldosterone (mineralocorticoid), cortisol (glucocorticoid), DHEA (weak androgen), and catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine). FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY The adrenal gland is located on top of the kidney. Like the pituitary, two distinct tissues merge during development to form the adrenal cortex (glandular tissue) and medulla (modified neuronal tissue) (Fig 1). 1 2 cortex 3 medulla Figure 1. Structure of the adrenal gland. The cortex secretes three steroid hormones: 1. aldosterone, 2. cortisol, 3. a weak androgen, DHEA. The medulla secretes epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NorEpi). 1 Introductory Human Physiology ©copyright Emma Jakoi MINERALOCORTICOIDS The major mineralocorticoid in humans is aldosterone. Aldosterone is NOT under the hypothalamus- pituitary control and does not mediate a negative feedback to this axis. Aldosterone secretion is increased by the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II, and by elevated plasma K+ concentration. Elevated plasma Na+ inhibits the secretion of aldosterone. Aldosterone, acts in the kidney to promote secretion of K+ into the urine from the blood and the reabsorption of Na+ from the urine into the blood.

It is a viscous, mucinous substance Jthat lubricates most joints. Analysis of synovial fluid is important in the diagnosis of joint disease. Aspiration of joint fluid is indicated for any patient with a joint effusion or inflamed joints. Aspiration of asymptomatic joints is beneficial for patients with gout and pseudogout as these fluids may still contain crystals.1 Evaluation of physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics of synovial fluid comprise routine analysis.

  • Arteries.Pdf
    Arteries Although blood vessels differ in size, distribution, and function, structurally they share many common features. As in the heart, the walls of blood vessels consist of three major coats or tunics. Differences in the appearance and functions of the various parts of the circulatory system are reflected by structural changes in these tunics or by reduction and even omission of some of the layers. From the lumen outward, the wall of a blood vessel consists of a tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. The tunica intima corresponds to and is continuous with the endocardium of the heart. It consists of an endothelium of flattened squamous cells resting on a basal lamina and is supported by a subendothelial connective tissue. The tunica media is the equivalent of the myocardium of the heart and is the layer most variable both in size and structure. Depending on the function of the vessel, this layer contains variable amounts of smooth muscle and elastic tissue. The tunica adventitia also varies in thickness in different parts of the vascular circuit. It consists mainly of collagenous connective tissue and corresponds to the epicardium of the heart, but it lacks mesothelial cells. As arteries course away from the heart they undergo successive divisions to provide numerous branches whose calibers progressively decrease. The changes in size and the corresponding changes in structure of the vessel wall are continuous, but three classes of arteries can be distinguished: large elastic or conducting arteries, medium-sized muscular or distributing arteries, and small arteries and arterioles. A characteristic feature of the entire arterial side of the blood vasculature system is the prominence of smooth muscle in the tunica media.

  • Mammalogy Lecture 12
    Mammalogy Lecture 11 - Reproduction I: General Patterns I. Obviously, reproduction is a very important aspect of biology and whole courses are dedicated to it. It’s easy to understand why reproductive traits would be subject to strong selection because of their direct effects on fitness. II. As we might expect, there are three basic types of mammalian reproduction. These correspond to the three major groups of mammals. Differences among these types reflect the degree of intimacy of fetal-maternal contact. A. Monotreme Type - Retain the primitive amniote pattern, but add a period of lactation. - Egg is very large at ovulation, about 3 mm. It moves down the oviduct where it is fertilized, then it’s coated with albumin, then a shell is laid down by a shell gland, and the shell is mineralized (with CaCO3). - Embryo spends 2-3 weeks in the uterus, then it’s laid. It’s large, 15 mm, when it’s laid. - Embryo growth is supported entirely by the yolk that’s enclosed in the egg. B. Metatherian type: - In some superficial ways it’s similar to monotremes, in that metatherians retain a shell membrane around the fertilized egg; a shell gland is present in Müllerian ducts. - However the shell is never mineralized and young are born live after only ca. 12 days, as we’ve seen, they are very altricial (poorly developed). - Initial intrauterine growth is supported by maternally by a placenta. - Metatherian placenta is the choriovitelline type - yolk-sac placenta (Eutherian placenta is called chorioallantoic placenta) C. Placenta Formation - Let’s look at formation of the placenta in Meta- & Eutherians.

Unlike the mammalian adrenal medulla, the adrenal gland in adrenal medulla birds has chromaffin cells mixed with cortical cells. Studies have investigated the ultrastructure birds (both transmission and scanning electron microscopy), biochemistry, and physiology (partic- morphology ularly interactions with other endocrine glands) of the avian adrenal medulla. Although function progress has been made, it is apparent that research on the avian adrenal medulla still lags behind work on the mammalian organ.
