Adrenal Gland

Anatomy was first described in Is located above (or attached to) the upper pole of the kidney. Is pyramidal in structure and weighs ~ 4 g. Consists of the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla Activities are regulation of fluid volume and stress response

The Adrenal Gland: Anatomy

Adrenal Histology

Adrenal Cortex Is divided into 3 zones in the adult gland: Zona Glomerulosa, Zona Fasciculata, Zona Rericularis. Is divided onto 4 zones in the fetal gland. The three zones of the permanent cortex constitutes only 20% of the fetal gland’s size. The remaining zone (fetal cortex) comprises up to 80% of gland’s size during fetal life.

Aldosterone, sex hormones, cortisol Synthesized from cholesterol–steroid ring Adrenal Cortex: Steroid Hormone Production

Cortisol and Chronic Stress Prolonged exposure to high cortisol levels can lead to break down of muscle, excessive epinephrine release, hyperglycemia, weakening of bone, destruction of the immune system, inhibition of reproductive function, and other complications.

Cortisol Effects: Body Responses to Stress Permissive effect on glucagon Memory, learning and mood Gluconeogenesis Skeletal muscle breakdown Lipolysis, calcium balance Immune depression Circadian rhythms

The General Adaptation Syndrome

Permissive Effects of Cortisol on Development Cortisol is required for normal development: - permissive role in final maturation of many organs - required for synthesis of digestive enzymes, surfactant - required for skeletal growth in children

Hormone Effects on Gene Activity Cortisol

Cortisol Effects: Body Responses to Stress to living

Control of Cortisol Secretion: Feedback Loops External stimuli Hypothalamic Anterior Pituitary Adrenal cortex Tissues

Cortisol: Role in Diseases and Medication Use as immunosuppressant –Hyperimmune reactions (bee stings) –Serious side effects Hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) –Tumors (pituitary or adrenal) –Iatrogenic (physician caused) Hypocortisolism (Addison's disease)

Aldosterone Exclusively synthesized in Z. Glomerulosa Essential for life. Promotes sodium retention and Potassium elimination by the kidney. Expands ECF volume

Regulation of Aldosterone Secretion

Aldosterone: Role in Diseases Complete failure to secrete aldosterone leads to death (dehydration, low blood volume). Hyperalsdosterone states: Contribute to hypertension associated with increased blood volume.

Sympathetic stimulation –Catecholamine release to blood Epinephrine Norepinephrine –Travel to: Multiple targets Distant targets Adrenal Medulla: A Modified Sympathetic Ganglion

Mechanism: Norepinephrine Release and Recycling

Review of Efferent Pathways: Motor and Autonomic

Catechalomines: Activity Stimulates the “fight or fight” reaction Increased plasma glucose levels Increased cardiovascular function Increased metabolic function Decreased gastrointestinal and genitourinary function

Activity of Epinephrine
