  2. Development of the endocrine system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the...

    The adrenal cortex originates from the thickening of the intermediate mesoderm. [3] At five to six weeks of gestation, the mesonephros differentiates into a tissue known as the gonadal ridge. The gonadal ridge produces the steroidogenic cells for both the gonads and the adrenal cortex. [4] The adrenal medulla is derived from ectodermal cells ...

  3. Adrenal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_cortex

    The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of the adrenal gland. It is divided into three separate zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Each zone is responsible for producing specific hormones. It is also a secondary site of androgen synthesis. [2]

    The adrenal cortex originates from the thickening of the intermediate mesoderm. At five to six weeks of gestation, the mesonephros differentiates into a tissue known as the genital ridge. The genital ridge produces the steroidogenic cells for both the gonads and the adrenal cortex. The adrenal medulla is derived from ectodermal cells. Cells ...

  5. Adrenal medulla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_medulla

    The adrenal medulla affects energy availability, heart rate, and basal metabolic rate. Recent research indicates that the adrenal medulla may receive input from higher-order cognitive centers in the prefrontal cortex as well as the sensory and motor cortices, providing credence to the idea that there are psychosomatic illnesses. [3]

  6. Chromaffin cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromaffin_cell

    Chromaffin cells, also called pheochromocytes (or phaeochromocytes), are neuroendocrine cells found mostly in the medulla of the adrenal glands in mammals.These cells serve a variety of functions such as serving as a response to stress, monitoring carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations in the body, maintenance of respiration and the regulation of blood pressure. [1]

  7. Adrenal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_gland

    The adrenal cortex is the outermost layer of the adrenal gland. Within the cortex are three layers, called "zones". When viewed under a microscope each layer has a distinct appearance, and each has a different function. [13] The adrenal cortex is devoted to production of hormones, namely aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens. [14]

  8. List of human hormones - Wikipedia

    Lung function: promote lung function by supporting alveoli. [7] Males: Prevent apoptosis of germ cells [8] Estrone: estrogen: ovary: granulosa cells, Adipocytes: ER: Estriol: estrogen: E 3: placenta: syncytiotrophoblast: ER: Cortisol: glucocorticoid: adrenal cortex (zona fasciculata and zona reticularis cells) GR: Stimulation of gluconeogenesis

  9. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    Eventually it differentiates into urogenital structures that consist of the kidneys, gonads, their associated ducts, and the adrenal cortex. The lateral plate mesoderm gives rise to the heart, blood vessels, and blood cells of the circulatory system, as well as to the mesodermal components of the limbs.
