Endocrine Gland Histology Flashcards
zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex: primary regulatory control and secretory products
primary regulatory control: renin-angiotensin
secretory products: aldosterone
name the zonas of the adrenal cortex from outermost to innermost
GFR: glomerulosa, fasciculata, reticularis –> medulla
zona fasciculata of adrenal cortex: primary regulatory control and secretory products
primary regulatory control: ACTH, CRH
secretory products: cortisol, sex hormones
zona reticularis of adrenal cortex: primary regulatory control and secretory products
primary regulatory control: ACTH, CRH
secretory products: sex hormones (e.g., androgens)
medulla of adrenal cortex: primary regulatory control and secretory products
primary regulatory control: preganglionic sympathetic fibers
secretory products: catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine)
