• parathyroid glands
  10 September 2007

  WP
  The parathyroid glands are named for their proximity to the thyroid but serve a completely different role than the thyroid gland.
  The parathyroid glands are quite easily recognizable from the thyroid as they have densely packed cells, in contrast with the follicular structure of the thyroid.
  Several types of cells are present in the parathyroid gland:
  chief cells
  They synthesize and release parathyroid hormone (PTH).
  These cells are small, and appear dark when loaded with (...)

• 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 (...)
