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.
