Adrenal Glands A. Draw and clearly label the cortex, medulla and capsule of the adrenal gland. Sketch and label the three regions of the adrenal cortex. For each region, note the class of hormones produced and released. Be sure to indicate total magnification of your sketch! Q4: What stimulates the adrenal medulla? Q5: What does the adrenal medulla release?

What hormones are secreted by the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla, and what are their actions? (pages $351-352$ )
Describe the location of the adrenal gland. List the hormones that are secreted by the adrenal medulla and the adrenal cortex. Describe the actions of the adrenal hormones and their contributions to homeostasis. Explain how the secretion of each adrenal hormone is regulated. Questions: Where are the adrenal glands located? What are the two main regions of the adrenal gland? What are the chromaffin cells controlled by? What do chromaffin cells produce, store and release? What is the function of epinephrine and norepinephrine? Describe the basic structure of epinephrine and norepinephrine. What are the 3 zones of the adrenal cortex called? What is the function of aldosterone and what stimulates its release? Describe the renin-angiotensin system. What is the function of cortisol? What stimulates its release? What hormones from the anterior pituitary affect the release adrenal gland hormones? What sex hormones are released from the adrenal gland? Terminology: adrenal medulla adrenal cortex chromaffin cells epinephrine norepinephrine catecholamine sympathetic nervous system zona glomerulosa zona fasciculata zona reticularis mineral corticoid aldosterone renin angiotensinogen angiotensin I angiotensin II angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) glucocorticoid cortisol adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) androgens
