Describe how to assess the adrenal gland function in the animal and describe two adrenal gland abnormalities that the animal may have if the adrenal glands are not functioning properly. Include citation of a peer-reviewed journal article, using two appropriate peer-reviewed scientific sources available through the Unity Library.

1. Explain two ways the adrenal gland is stimulated to release hormones, and list which hormones are released by each method. 2. Choose one pair of antagonistic hormones. Describe the following: a. Name the organ(s) which releases each hormone b. What triggers the release of each hormone? c. What is/are the general functions of each hormone?

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
