37
Q

what is the main place that makes weak androgen

A

zona reticularis

38
Q

zona reticualris makes some what?

A

glucocorticoids

39
Q

the mitochondria in the part of the cortex that secrete steriods are what

A

tubular crytsal ( crista is in tubular form)

40
Q

what are the cells like in the zona g

A

rounded in clusters

41
Q

what are the cells like in the zona f? what is between them

A

straight cords and there are blood vessels between them

42
Q

what are the cells like in zona r and what is in the space between them

A

they are branched chords and there are blood vessels between them

43
Q

what are the cells in the zona f called becuase the lipid droplets get washed off whe the slide is being prepared so these cells look like there are empty spaces making them look like sponges

A

spongiocytes

44
Q

cells in the zona f will have what three things

A

SER
lipid droplets
tubular mitochondria

45
Q

what are the smalles of the secratory cells in the adrenal cortex

A

zona reticularis

46
Q

where is an area that women will have some androgen

A

in their adrenal cortex, zona r

47
Q

what is the weak androgen that the zona r makes

A

dehydroepiandrosterone

48
Q

the cells in the medulla are what kind of staining

A

pale

49
Q

what is the zona g stimulated by

A

renin angiotensin aldosterone system

50
Q

what are the modified post ganglioninc sympathetic neurons that lack axons and dendrites

A

chromaffin cells

51
Q

where did the medulla originate from

A

neural crest cells

52
Q

what do the teo classes of cells secrete in the medulla of the adrenal gland

A

epinephrine and norepinephrine

53
Q

what are the yellow brown cells that stain with chromic salts

A

chromaffin cells

54
Q

what are the cells in the adrenal medulla that do not have axons or dendrites called

A

pheochromocytes

55
Q

in what disease is the adrenal gland destryoyed and it can be caused by either autoimmune or TB

A

addisons disease

56
Q

why does ACTH increase in addison’s disease

A

becuase there is no negative feeback loop going to the adenohypophysis to tell it to stop secreting ACTH

57
Q

lack of mineralcorticoids from the zona glomerulosa in the adrenal gland in addisons disease will cause what

A

hypotension and circulatory shock

58
Q

when there is no cortisol being secreted like in addisons disease what happens

A

muscle weakness

59
Q

why will the patient have hyperpigmentation of the skin in addisons disease

A

becuase there will be an increase in ACTH and they are derived from principle cell and that cell also produces MSH so the melancyets will be `stimulated

60
Q

what is it when ACTH produces a tumor of the anterior pituritary

A

cushing’s disease

61
Q

what increases in Cushing’s Disease when ACTH increases

A

cortisol and androgen

62
Q

what is the disease when there is an actual functional tumor of the adrenal cortex

A

cushing’s syndrome

63
Q

in cushing disease what will happen to ACTH what will happen to it in Cushing’s Syndroe

A

decreases

increase

64
Q

A

glucoagon

66
Q

what separates the exocrine and endocrine pancrease

A

reticular fibers

67
Q

beta cells in the pancrease secrete what

A

insulin

68
Q

what does insulin do

A

it causes the entry of the glucose into the cells and decreases blood sugar levels

69
Q

what do the delta cells in the islets of lang make

A

somatostatin

70
Q

what inhibts the release of other paracreatic hormones by paracrine action

A

Q

what is the evagination from the posterior region of the thrid ventricle rook

A

pineal gland

A

basophilic bodies or brain sand

78
