Pituitary gland (cells) |
Anterior lobe: Somatrophs, thyrotrophs, gonadotrophs, lactotrophs, corticotrophs, acidophils, basophils Posterior lobe: paraventricular + supraoptic |
|
|
Thyroid gland (cells) |
Follicular cells: make up walls of follicles, most extend to lumen Parafollicular cells: lies between follicles |
|
|
Adrenal gland (cells) |
Cortex: secrete mineralcorticoids (zona glomerulosa), glucocorticoids (zona fasciculata), androgen (zona reticularis) Medulla: form clusters around large blood vessels, chromaffin cells, secrete epinephrine and norepinpherine |

Alpha: secrete glucagon Beta: secrete insulin Delta:secrete somatostatin F cells: secrete pancreatic polypeptide |
|
|
Thyroid gland (cells chemistry) |
Follicular cells: trap + transport iodine into cytosol Follicular cells + Golgi bodies produce TGB released in lumen |
|
|
Pituitary gland (cells chemistry) |
Posterior: cell bodies in supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei produce antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin |
|
|

Cortex: peripheral, mesoderm Medulla: central, ectoderm |
|
|
Parathyroid (cells) |
Inhibits actions of osteoclasts Parathyroid hormone comes from chief cells |
|
|
Pineal gland (cells) |
