OBS

Video produced in 1985 by Mobius Media Corporation, Rexdale, Ontario. This short drama is about the emotional abuse and neglect of the elderly. Locked in her room day after day, a woman who lives with her son and his family whiles away her time watching television. Except for an occasional visit from her granddaughter, she is virtually ignored. The daughter-in-law resents having to put aside her career plans to take care of her husband's mother and wants to place her in a nursing home. The granddaughter, upset about growing domestic conflict and the treatment her grandmother is receiving, implores hers parents to get professional counselling. A discussion-starter on the problem of abuse of the elderly.

The name APUD was coined for amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation; this process is similar to that seen in neurones. APUD cells were named by Pearse to organize his observations on peptide-secreting cells, particularly those from the GI tract. These cells take up precursors of biologically active amines to produce active amine through intracellular decarboxylation with subsequent storage of the amine product in secretory vesicles. APUD cells may have neuroectodermal and endodermal origins but this remains to be proven.

Un certain nombre de cellules du SED sont des cellules du système APUD de Pearse, cellules capables de capter les précurseurs des amines biogènes et de les décarboxyler (Amine Precursor Uptake and Decarboxylation). Elles sécrètent des hormones polypeptidiques et/ou des amines biogènes dont certaines sont des neurotransmetteurs. L'origine embryonnaire de ces cellules est neurectoblastique, à partir des crêtes neurales, tout comme les neurones; on parle de cellules neuro-endocrines.

SED : système endocrinien diffus.
