Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Histology and Cell Biology: Examination & Board Review, 6e AB - OBJECTIVESThis chapter should help the student to:Describe the structure, function, and location of the islets of Langerhans; the pineal body; and the adrenal, thyroid, and parathyroid glands.Describe the embryonic origin of the adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, and thyroid and parathyroid glands.Describe the nerve and blood supply to the adrenal glands, islets of Langerhans, thyroid gland, and pineal body.Name the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, islets of Langerhans, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and pineal body; for each hormone, identify the cell type responsible for its secretion, neural and endocrine regulating factors, and main targets and effects.Identify the capsule, cortex, zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis, medulla, chromaffin cells, and ganglion cells in a micrograph of the adrenal gland.Identify the islets of Langerhans in a micrograph of the pancreas.Trace the steps in the synthesis, storage, and secretion of hormones by the thyroid’s follicular cells.Identify the follicles, follicular cells, basement membrane, colloid, capillaries, and parafollicular cells in a micrograph of the thyroid gland.Identify the capsule, chief cells, and oxyphil cells in a micrograph of the parathyroid gland.Identify pinealocytes, astroglial cells, and brain sand (corpora arenacea) in a micrograph of the pineal body.
