Too little ACTH. JFK had this. Symptoms include low bp (not enough aldosterone), hypoglycemia (not enough cortisol), difficulty dealing with stress, and tan-ness.
|
|
Adrenal Cortex produces –
|
aldosterone, cortisol, and androgen
|
|
Aldosterone –
|
Targets kidneys – causes kidneys to retain salt, regulates sodium and potassium – Increases blood pressure
|
|
Cortisol –
|
Targets most cells – ups blood sugar, fatty acids redistributed to waist, decreases inflammation
|
|
Androgen –
|
Aggression, build muscle
|
|
Adrenal medulla –
|
Stimulated by sympathetic nervous system. Makes epinephrine, norepinephrine.
|
|
Corticosteriods –
|
25 steroid hormones synthesized by the cortex.
|
|
Mineralocorticords –
|
a group of hormones produced by the zona glomerulosa (adrenal) that regulates electrolyte concentration.
|
|
Glucocorticoids –
|
Adrenal hormones that stimulate metabolism of lipids and proteins, helps regulate glucose, and decreases inflammation. The two most common glucocorticoids are cortisol and corticosterone
|
|
Adrenal sex hormones –
|
androgens and estrogen
|
|
Number of parathyroid glands –
|
Normally 4, sometimes 2-6 though.
|
|
Low blood _________ levels stimulates the release of parathyroid hormones
|
calcium
|
|
PTH raises blood calcium levels through:
|
stimulating bone decomposition, increases reabsorption of calcium from kidneys, increases absorption of calcium from small intestines

|
|
Erythropoiten –
|
Thyroxin, testosterone, decreased blood volume, and decreased oxygen in blood stimulates kidney to release erythropoeitin which stimulates the bone marrow to produce RBCs
|
|
Hemostasis – “Blood hold”. Blood clotting.
|
1.Endothelial cells (simple squamus epithelial) are stimulates to “spasm”
- Minimizes blood loss 2. Platelet will become activated and sticky, forming a mass. - Stops blood loss until an actual clot can form 3. Coagulation: Fibrin forms a net across the wound remains until the wound has healed. (3-6 mins for the whole thing) |
|
About 30 different enzymes involved in clotting. One activated after another (positive feedback). Last few steps:
|
- Clotting factor X attracts prothrombin activator.
- Prothrombin activator changes prothrobin to thrombin - Thrombin stimulates fibrinogen to became fibrin Lysis of clot - Heparin |
