Definition von adrenal glands im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: plural form of adrenal gland
adrenal gland: In mammals, either of a pair of complex endocrine glands, situated above each kidney, secreting hormones which control the heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism
adrenal gland: Gland that is present above each kidney The cortex of the gland secretes glucocorticoids whereas the medulla secretes noradrenaline (Norepinephrine)
adrenal gland: Gland next to the kidney that produces cortisone and epinephrine (adrenalin)
adrenal gland: The main function of the adrenal glands is to produce hormones which control metabolism, fluid balance, and blood pressure In addition, they produce small amounts of 'male' hormones (androgens) and 'female' hormones (estrogens and progesterone) One adrenal gland is found near each kidney
adrenal gland: n. Either of two small, dissimilarly shaped endocrine glands, one located above each kidney, consisting of the cortex, which secretes several steroid hormones, and the medulla, which secretes epinephrine. Also called suprarenal gland. or suprarenal gland Either of two small, triangular endocrine glands over the kidneys. In humans, each gland weighs about 0.15 oz (4.5 g) and consists of an inner medulla, which produces the catecholamine hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, and an outer cortex (about 90% of the gland), which secretes the steroid hormones aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens (the last two in response to ACTH from the pituitary gland). Diseases of the adrenal glands include pheochromocytoma (a tumour of the medulla) and the cortical disorders Addison disease, adrenal hypertrophy, Cushing syndrome, and primary aldosteronism

adrenal gland: A gland that is at the upper end of each kidney; it is a ductless glands that secretes catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) from the medulla portion of the gland and steroid hormones (such as cortisol) from the cortex portion of the gland
adrenal gland: A small gland in the body that releases a variety of hormones that help us deal with stress Two of these hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine, are also part of the flight-or-fight response Cocaine sharply increases the levels of these hormones in the body
adrenal gland: n (a-DREE-null) Endocrine gland located above each kidney The inner part (medulla) of each gland secretes the hormone adrenaline and the outer part (cortex) secretes steroids
adrenal gland: an organ located above each kidney that produces various hormones The medulla (inner part) of the adrenal gland secretes adrenaline (epinephrine) The cortex (outer part) secretes steroids such as cortisol and certain androgens The adrenal cortex are stimulated to produce hormones by the pituitary hormone ACTH; reduced secretion (adrenal insufficiency) can lead to fatigue, anorexia and weight loss
