Hypofunction of the adrenal cortex in humans is called ______ disease.

A

Addison’s

24

The steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex fall into the following three main categories: _______, _________, and _______.

A

mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, sex hormones.

25

________ regulate electrolyte metabolism.

A

mineralocorticoids

26
Q

A

aldosterone

27
Q

_________ play a principal role in carbohydrate metabolism.

A

glucocorticoids

28
Q

The primary glucocorticoids are _______ and _______.

A

cortisone, hydrocortisone

29
Q

Adrenal tumors in women can promote secondary _____ characteristics.

A

masculine

30
Q

The adrenal cortex is controlled by _________ hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary.

A

adrenocorticotropic

31
Q

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are amines, sometimes referred to as ________ , that elevate the blood pressure.

A

catecholamines

32
Q

describe the sonographic findings for the paraaortic lymph nodes

A
  • rounded, focal, echo poor lesions 1-3 cm apart & larger hypoechoic masses tht displacd kidney laterally
  • US appearance:
    • mantle of nodes,
    • floating or anterior displaced aorta secondary to the enlarged nodes or the
    • mesenteric sandwich sign representing the anterior and posterior node masses surrounding the mesenteric vessels
33
Q

explain how to distinguish enlarged lymph nodes from bowel

A
  • Lymph nodes-remain as consistent patterns
  • bowel & duodenum present w/ changing peristaltic patterns on US.
  • As gentle pressure is applied,
    • the lymph nodes remain constant in shape,
    • bowel is compressed and displaced.
34
Q

adrenal hemorrhages are more common in neonates who experienced a traumatic delivery that included ______, ______, and ______.

A

A

urinoma

*IMAGE

the right crus of the diaphragm passes posterior to the IVC and the left crus passes anterior to the Aorta

A
39
Q

Q

*IMAGE

retroperitoneal spaces based on concept of retroperitoneal anatomy.

  • Anterior (dashed lines) and posterior (dotted lines) perirenal fascia join to form lateroconal fascia.
    • these fasciae divide into the retroperitoneum into
      • (1) anterior pararenal space -
        • contains: duodenum, pancreas, and right & left colon
      • (2) the perirenal space-
        • contains: kidney, adrenal glands, and perirenal fat
      • (3) posterior pararenal space, which contains fat

Q

*IMAGE

this patient presents with uncontrollable hypertension. id the anomaly shown in the sonograms

A

pheochromocytoma

pheochromocytoma is a homogeneous tumor that has a weak posterior wall & decreased through transmission. the tumor can grow quite large

42
Q

*IMAGE

what are the arrows pointing to in this transverse image in this patient with abdominal tenderness?

A

enlarged lymph nodes

the aorta is surrounded by enlarged lymph nodes

43
Q

*IMAGE

what is the abnormality on this RUQ sonogram?

A

adrenal hemorrhage

(the appearance of an adrenal hemorrhage will vary depending on the age of the hemorrhage. the adrenal gland will appear as a solid mass initially, and over time the mass will have a more cystic or complex appearance)

44
