Cytology: Adrenal Gland, Pituitary Gland

You know this is a bonus question.

Cuz Cushing wasn't enough.

Noradrenaline is the same as norepinephrine. Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter and hormone that is involved in the body's stress response and regulation of blood pressure. It is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress or danger. Therefore, the correct answer is norepinephrine.

Epinephrine is the correct answer because it is the medical term for adrenaline. Adrenaline is a hormone and neurotransmitter that is released in response to stress or danger, preparing the body for a "fight or flight" response. Epinephrine is commonly used in medical settings to treat severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and cardiac arrest.

The correct answer is adrenaline and noradrenaline. The adrenal medulla is responsible for producing and releasing these two hormones, which are also known as catecholamines. Adrenaline and noradrenaline play important roles in the body's response to stress and are involved in increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels. They are part of the fight-or-flight response and help prepare the body for physical activity or emergency situations.

Cushing syndrome occurs when the body is exposed to prolonged and excessive levels of cortisol or when the body produces an excessive amount of cortisol for medical reasons. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate various bodily functions, such as metabolism and immune response. When cortisol levels are consistently high, it can lead to symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and muscle weakness, which are characteristic of Cushing syndrome.

The adrenal cortex is responsible for producing steroid hormones. These hormones are essential for various bodily functions, such as regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress response. Examples of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex include cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Adrenaline, calcitonin, and PTH are not produced by the adrenal cortex, making steroid hormones the correct answer.

Sad but true.

They are secreted in small quantities and may show some sexual behavior in neutered animals.

Their motto is "Together, knight or flight!"

The secretion of glucocorticoids is regulated by ACTH from the anterior pituitary gland. ACTH, or adrenocorticotropic hormone, is released by the anterior pituitary gland in response to the hypothalamus releasing corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). ACTH then stimulates the adrenal glands to produce and release glucocorticoids, such as cortisol. This feedback loop helps to regulate the levels of glucocorticoids in the body, ensuring they are released when needed and suppressed when not necessary.

Glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal sex hormones are all steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, are involved in regulating metabolism and immune responses. Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, are responsible for maintaining electrolyte and fluid balance in the body. Adrenal sex hormones, including androgens and estrogens, play a role in sexual development and function. Epinephrine and norepinephrine, on the other hand, are not steroid hormones but rather catecholamines produced by the adrenal medulla.

Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney where it regulates the acid base balance of the plasma and extracellular fluid (ECF) by excretion of H+ ions. The distal convoluted tubule is responsible for fine-tuning the reabsorption and secretion of substances in the urine, including hydrogen ions. By excreting H+ ions, aldosterone helps to maintain the balance of acids and bases in the body, ensuring proper pH levels in the plasma and ECF.

Glucocorticoids are hormones that increase blood glucose levels by promoting the process of glucogenesis. Glucogenesis is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and fatty acids. Therefore, the correct answer is glucogenesis.

No connection. 2 separate glands.

Glucocorticoids increase blood glucose levels by reducing glucose uptake by the cells. This means that glucocorticoids inhibit the cells' ability to take in and utilize glucose, leading to an increase in the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream.

Glucogenesis is the process of converting amino acids into glucose in the liver or kidneys. Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for the body. The adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue, does not directly convert amino acids into glucose. Therefore, the correct answer is Glucogenesis, glucose.

Hyperadrenocorticism, also known as Cushing's syndrome, is a condition characterized by excessive production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. The causes of hyperadrenocorticism include pituitary tumors, which can lead to overproduction of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and subsequently stimulate the adrenal glands to produce excess cortisol. Pituitary hyperplasia, an enlargement of the pituitary gland, can also result in increased ACTH production and cortisol release. Adrenal tumors, such as adrenal adenomas or carcinomas, can directly produce excessive cortisol. Adrenal hyperplasia, an overgrowth of adrenal tissue, can also lead to increased cortisol production. The options "Rebellious cortex" and "Cortex and medulla want a divorce" are not valid causes of hyperadrenocorticism.

Glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroids that can suppress the inflammatory reaction in the body. When present in large quantities, they can inhibit the immune response, leading to a delay in healing and repair. Therefore, the correct answer is "Glucocorticoids, inflammatory reaction."

Cortisol and corticosterone are hormones that increase in response to stress. These hormones are released by the adrenal glands and play a role in the body's stress response. Cortisol helps regulate various body functions during stress, such as blood sugar levels, immune system response, and metabolism. Corticosterone also plays a role in the stress response and has similar functions to cortisol. Together, these hormones help the body cope with and adapt to stressful situations.

Patients with Hyperadrenocorticism, also known as Cushing's disease, often exhibit an increased number of nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) in their hemogram. This is due to the excessive production of cortisol, a hormone that can cause the bone marrow to release immature red blood cells. Additionally, these patients may also present a stress leukogram, which refers to an increase in white blood cell count and a shift in the types of white blood cells present. Lastly, basophilia, an increase in the number of basophils, may also be observed in the hemogram of Hyperadrenocorticism patients.

This answer includes all the clinical signs of hyperadrenocorticism, which include PU/PD/Polyphagia, heat intolerance/lethargy, abdominal enlargement/obesity, panting, muscle weakness, recurrent UTIs, alopecia, pjlebactisias, comodones, bruising, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, calcinosis cutis, seborrhea, secondary demodecosis, and severe thinning of the skin in felines.

It's rare in cats. Usually of pituitary origin.

Usually around 7-12 years of age.

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a crucial role in regulating electrolyte balance in the body. It acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium ions (Na+) and the excretion of potassium ions (K+). This helps to maintain proper levels of these ions in the body and is important for maintaining blood pressure and fluid balance. Therefore, the correct answer is "The excretion of Na+ and K+."

The fight or flight response triggers several physiological changes in the body. It increases blood glucose levels through glycogenolysis, providing energy for the muscles. It also increases heart rate and respiratory rate, as well as the depth of respiration, to supply more oxygen to the muscles. Vasodilation occurs in skeletal muscles, increasing blood flow to these areas. The response also decreases gastrointestinal and bladder activity to conserve energy. Pupils dilate to enhance visual awareness. Hypertension may occur as a result of increased blood flow and vasoconstriction. The statement about developing pogo stick syndrome and suddenly hopping out of the way is not relevant to the fight or flight response.
