Block 4 - Endocrine Flashcards
three layers of cortical layer of adrenal gland
zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis
a belt of little globes
zona glomerulosa
a belt of a bundle of sticks
zona fasciculata
a belt of a network of cells
zona reticularis
blank follow the paths of each layer of the cortical layer
capillary beds
superior suprarenal artery comes off blank
inferior phrenic artery
middle suprarenal artery comes off blank
aorta
inferior suprarenal artery comes off blank
renal artery
the cortex of the adrenal organ can control whats going on in the medulla by using blank
glucocorticoids
2 organelles that are most important for producing hormones in the adrenal gland
mitochondria, SER
each individual layer of the cortex forms blank hormones
1
zone glomerulosa makes this hormone
aldosterone
zona fasciculata makes this hormone
cortisol
zona reticularis makes this hormone
dhea
layer with many lipid droplets
zona fasciculata
lipofuscin pigment shows up in this layer
zona reticularis
no blank are required for these three layers of the cortex
secretion granules
cortex makes up this percent of the adrenal gland
90
medulla makes up this percent of adrenal gland
10
part of cortex that makes up 80 percent of the adrenal gland
zona fasciculata
zonula fascicula has relatively blank sinusoidal capillaries
straight
zonula reticulata has blank sinusoidal capillaries
branched
heavy red band of cells is definitely the blank
zona reticularis
these vessels can be seen in the medulla
post capillary venules
adventitia is filled with bundels of blank
smooth muscle
suprarenal vein has adventitia filled with smooth muscle which is similar to these two veins which the suprarenal veins dump into
IVC (right), renal (left)
zona fasciculata is blank stained
lightly
medulla is blank color
basophilic
the smooth muscle around the medullary vein is blank thickness
not uniform
cells in the medulla that bichromate salts
chromaffin cells
larger dense core vesicles in medulla produce blank and are about 20%
noradrenaline
smaller less well stained vesicles in medulla produce adrenaline and are about blank
80%
cell in the medulla that are few in number, basophilic
postganglionic sympathetic nerve cell
chromaffin cells are blank nerve cells
modified
