• peripheral nerves
  11 February 2004

  The principal structural component of peripheral nerve is the nerve fiber (an axon with its Schwann cells and myelin sheath).
  A nerve consists of numerous fibers that are grouped into fascicles by connective tissue sheaths. Myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers are intermingled within the fascicle.
  In the sural nerve, the nerve that is most commonly examined by biopsy and a relatively pure sensory nerve, myelinated fibers range between 2 and 16 μm in diameter and have a bimodal (...)

• adrenal glands
  9 May 2004

  adrenal glands, suprarenal glands; adrenals PO
  Definition : The adrenal glands are paired endocrine organs consisting of both cortex and medulla, which differ in their development, structure, and function.
  The zona glomerulosa predominantly releases mineralocorticoids, particularly aldosterone. The zona fasciculata releases corticosteroids, particularly cortisol. The zona reticularis releases sex steroids, predominantly androgens, but also some estrogens.
  In the adult, the normal (...)
