  • HYPOTHALAMUS – PITUITARY-ADRENAL AXIS Learning Objectives OVERVIEW FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
    Introductory Human Physiology ©copyright Emma Jakoi HYPOTHALAMUS – PITUITARY-ADRENAL AXIS Emma R. Jakoi, Ph.D. Learning objectives • Describe the structural and functional organization of the adrenal gland. • Describe the synthesis and secretion of cortical adrenal hormones. • Describe the mechanism of action and physiologic effects of adrenal hormones. • Explain the control of adrenal hormone synthesis and secretion. Describe the major feedback loops that integrate the hypothalamic axis and body homeostasis. • Explain the physiologic roles of the adrenal hormones in normal physiology. OVERVIEW The adrenal glands maintain homeostasis in response to stress. Three major classes of hormones are secreted by these glands: aldosterone (mineralocorticoid), cortisol (glucocorticoid), DHEA (weak androgen), and catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine). FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY The adrenal gland is located on top of the kidney. Like the pituitary, two distinct tissues merge during development to form the adrenal cortex (glandular tissue) and medulla (modified neuronal tissue) (Fig 1). 1 2 cortex 3 medulla Figure 1. Structure of the adrenal gland. The cortex secretes three steroid hormones: 1. aldosterone, 2. cortisol, 3. a weak androgen, DHEA. The medulla secretes epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NorEpi). 1 Introductory Human Physiology ©copyright Emma Jakoi MINERALOCORTICOIDS The major mineralocorticoid in humans is aldosterone. Aldosterone is NOT under the hypothalamus- pituitary control and does not mediate a negative feedback to this axis. Aldosterone secretion is increased by the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II, and by elevated plasma K+ concentration. Elevated plasma Na+ inhibits the secretion of aldosterone. Aldosterone, acts in the kidney to promote secretion of K+ into the urine from the blood and the reabsorption of Na+ from the urine into the blood.

Carmichael1*, Monisha Mukherjee Department of Zoology, University of Calcutta, Calcutta, India, 1Department of Anatomy, Mayo Clinic/Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota, USA ABSTRACT The purpose of this review is to explore the world literature on the avian adrenal KEY WORDS medulla from the last 20 years. Unlike the mammalian adrenal medulla, the adrenal gland in adrenal medulla birds has chromaffin cells mixed with cortical cells. Studies have investigated the ultrastructure birds (both transmission and scanning electron microscopy), biochemistry, and physiology (partic- morphology ularly interactions with other endocrine glands) of the avian adrenal medulla. Although function progress has been made, it is apparent that research on the avian adrenal medulla still lags behind work on the mammalian organ. Acta Biol Szeged 45(1-4):1-11 (2001) The adrenal glands of birds, like those in mammals, are in the adrenal medulla. This profound variation of medullary paired yellow- or orange-colored pear- or triangle-shaped E/NE ratio in birds suggests a distinct evolutionary pattern glands that are next to the kidneys. The intermingling nature (Ghosh 1977, 1980). The avian phylogeny used in this study of cortical and medullary components constitutes a major was essentially based on palaeontological evidences (Grego- characteristic of avian adrenal medulla (Vestergaard and ry 1957). We feel that our “claim” of hormonal taxonomy is Willeberg 1978).

  • Endocrine Tumors – Adrenal Medulla
    Endocrine Tumors – Adrenal Medulla 803-808-7387 www.gracepets.com These notes are provided to help you understand the diagnosis or possible diagnosis of cancer in your pet. For general information on cancer in pets ask for our handout “What is Cancer”. Your veterinarian may suggest certain tests to help confirm or eliminate diagnosis, and to help assess treatment options and likely outcomes. Because individual situations and responses vary, and because cancers often behave unpredictably, science can only give us a guide. However, information and understanding for tumors in animals is improving all the time. We understand that this can be a very worrying time. We apologize for the need to use some technical language. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us. What are the adrenal glands? The adrenal glands are located close to the kidneys. They are part of the body’s endocrine system, the glands of which also include the pituitary (in the brain), thyroid, parathyroid and Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Endocrine glands produce specialized chemicals called “hormones”. These regulate and integrate many activities to maintain internal stability of the body. The hormones pass directly into the blood to affect target cells elsewhere. Hormones are also produced by many cells in other tissues. Each of the two adrenal glands has two parts. The outer part (cortex) is controlled by a hormone (adrenocorticotrophic hormone, ACTH) from the pituitary gland. The cortex produces steroid hormones of several types. The inner part (medulla) of the adrenal gland originates from the same cells that in the embryo form the nervous system, and therefore not surprisingly it produces neuroendocrine hormones with effects similar to those of the sympathetic nervous system.

Often variable!! Adrenal Cortical Adenoma Benign. Very common. Often incidentally identified. Usually unilateral solitary masses with atrophic background adrenal gland. Tumor cells can be lipid-rich (clearer) or lipid-poor (pinker) arranged in nests and cords separated by abundant vasculature. Occasional lipofuscin pigment. Nuclei generally small and round (occasional extreme “endocrine atypia” is common). Low/no mitotic activity. Intact reticulin framework. On a spectrum with and may hard to differentiate from hyperplastic nodules, which is more often multinodular (background hyperplasia) and bilateral. Can be non-functional (85%) or functional (15%). Associated with MEN1, FAP, Carney Complex, among Aldosterone-producing→ “Conn syndrome”→ others… hypertension and hypokalemia If aldosterone-secreting adenoma is treated with Cortisol-producing→ (ACTH-independent) spironolactone→ “spironolactone bodies” (below) “Cushing Syndrome” → central obesity, moon face, hirsutism, poor healing, striae Sex-hormone-producing→ Rare (more common in carcinomas). Symptoms depend on hormone/sex (virilization or feminization) Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma Malignant. Most common in older adults. Can present with an incidental unilateral mass or with an endocrinopathy (see above). Solid, broad trabeculae, or large nested growth (more diffuse, and larger groups than in adenomas) Thick fibrous capsule with occasional fibrous bands. Frequent tumor necrosis. Frequent vascular or capsular invasion. Increased mitotic activity.

What do the products of the endocrine system do? They broadcast messages throughout the body. Hormones (page 997) 3. Chemicals that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of other cells are called hormones . 4. How do hormones affect the activities of other cells? Hormones bind to specific chemical receptors on other cells. 5. Cells that have receptors for a particular hormone are referred to as target cells . 6. Is the following sentence true or false? Cells without receptors are not affected by hormones. true 7. Is the following sentence true or false? Generally, the body’s responses to hormones are quicker and shorter lasting than the responses to nerve impulses. false Glands (page 998) 8.
