WHAT DOES CORTICOTROPIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Corticotropic cell

Corticotropes are basophilic cells in the anterior pituitary that produce melanocyte-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and lipotropin. The cells produce pro-opiomelanocortin which undergoes cleavage to ACTH and β-lipotropin. These cells respond to corticotropin releasing hormone and make up about 20% of the cells in the anterior pituitary. v t e Human anatomy, endocrine system: endocrine glands Islets of pancreas ▪ Alpha cell ▪ Beta cell ▪ Delta cell ▪ PP cell ▪ Epsilon cell Hypothalamic/ pituitary axes +parathyroid Pituitary Posterior pituitary ▪ Pars nervosa ▪ Median eminence ▪ Infundibular stalk ▪ Pituicyte ▪ Herring bodies Anterior pituitary ▪ Pars intermedia ▪ Pars tuberalis ▪ Pars distalis ▪ Acidophil cell ▪ Somatotropic cell ▪ Prolactin cell ▪ Basophil cell ▪ Corticotropic cell ▪ Gonadotropic cell ▪ Thyrotropic cell ▪ Chromophobe cell...
