A short stalk, the infundibulum, and a vascular network connect the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus. 14. The cells are organized in clumps and cords separated by fenestrated sinusoidal capillaries. 20. Presence of highly branched glial cells called pituicytes that resemble astrocytes and are the most abundant cell type in the posterior pituitary; serves a supporting role in the CNS 21. NOT an endocrine gland; stores and releases secretory products from the hypothalamus 84. Under the covered surface is the tunica albuginea made of dense irregular connective tissue and responsible for whitish color of ovary 85. Below that tunica albuginea is the cortex of the ovary where there is predominance of ovarian follicles 86. Deep in the cortex is highly vascularized connective tissue core of ovary, medulla 88. In addition, produced by the corpus luteum, placenta, liver, breasts and adrenal glands in smaller quantities 100. The nucleus as the germinal vesicle and the nucleolus as the germinal spot 116. Composed of cells called pinealocytes and cells of the nervous system called glial cells 117. Connects the endocrine system with the nervous system in that it converts nerve signals from the sympathetic system of the peripheral nervous system into hormone signals 137. Resemble the astrocytes of the brain in having long-cell process and an abundance of intermediate filaments throughout the cytoplasm 148. Activates the immune system by activating the T-Cells (T-Killer Cells; T-Helper Cells; T-Memory Cells) 150. The thymus consists of lobules full of T-lymphocytes (white blood cells associated with antibody production). 162.
