Glands Flashcards
Adrenal Medulla
- Center of the adrenal gland
- Autonomic nervous system
- Catecholamines epinephrine and *norepinephrine
- Decrease increase blood clot
- release fatty acids
- increase BMR
- Increase blood glucose
Adrenal Glands
2 glands on each kidney
Adrenal Medulla
Adrenal Cortex
ADRENAL CORTEX
Secretes STEROID HORMONES
regulated by HYPOTHALMUS-pituitary axis
Hypothalamus secretes (CRH) corticotropin releasing hormone -stimulates pituitary gland to secrete (ACTH) -adrenal cortex -glucocorticoid hormone (cortisol) increase adrenal cortex hormones inhibit secretion of CRH and ACTH
Adrenal cortex hormones
Hypothalamus | Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) | Anterior pituitary | Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) | Adrenal cortex | Cortisol (Inhibits anterior pituitary and hypothalamus)
Adrenal cortex
Steroid Hormones
Glucocorticoids (Hydrocortisone)
Mineralcorticoids (aldosterone)
Androgens (Male sex hormones)
Assessment
Energy level Tolerance to heat or cold Weight Thrust Frequency of urination Fat and fluid distribution Secondary sec characteristics Menstrual cycle Memory concentration Sleep patterns Mood Vision changes Joint pain Sexual disfunction

Vital signs Head to toe inspection Palpation of hair and skin Hair Thyroid
The principle glucocorticoid released as the result of ACTH release from pituitary gland gland, inhibits the release of CRH and ACTH, essential in time of steer regulated metabolic function can be admin in firm of cortisone
Cortisol (Hydrocortisone)
S/E (DM, otseoporo, peptic ulcers, poor wound healing)
Mineral corticoids
Aldosterone Is the principle mineral corticoids.
- metabolism
- responds to angiotensin 2
- RAS
Androgens
Ready similarity to make arc hormones
Contributed to pubertal growth of body hair (especially axillary in women) m
Little or no effects in small Almohads
over secretion (masculinization) (Andregenital syndrome)
Cortisol and androgen hormones
are excreted in unbound form and bind to plasma proteins got transport.
Aldosterone
Transported by binding to album
The liver is the primary site of metabolism for cortex hormones
got metabolism for cortex hormones
The liver
The primary site of metabolism fit cortex hormone
