Identify diseases caused by oversecretion of adrenal catecholamines.Describe and integrate the interactions of adrenal medullary and cortical hormones in response to stress.Describe the biologic consequences of sympatho-adrenal medulla activation and identify the target organs or tissues for catecholamine effects along with the receptor types that mediate their actions.Identify the chemical nature of catecholamines and their biosynthesis and metabolic fate.Identify the causes and consequences of oversecretion and undersecretion of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens.
Describe the regulation of mineralocorticoid secretion and relate this to the regulation of sodium and potassium excretion.Identify the major mineralocorticoids, their biologic actions, and their target organs or tissues.Each gland contains two tissue types: the cortex and the medulla. You have two adrenal glands, one located above each kidney. Understand the cellular mechanism of action of adrenal cortical hormones and identify their major physiologic actions, particularly during injury and stress. As part of the endocrine system, the adrenal glands produce hormones that give instructions to nearly every organ and tissue in the body.Describe and contrast the regulation of synthesis and release of the adrenal steroid hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens) and the consequences of abnormalities in their biosynthetic pathways.What are adrenal glands Your adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangle-shaped glands that are located on top of each of your two kidneys. Adrenal glands have two main parts: Adrenal medulla (inside) and adrenal cortex (outside). Identify the functional anatomy and zones of the adrenal glands and the principal hormones secreted from each zone. Overview A triangle-shaped gland on top of a kidney.
