What is the purpose of an aldosterone assay?
Aldosterone measurement is useful in detecting a condition called aldosteronism, which is caused by excess secretion of the hormone from the adrenal glands. There are two types of aldosteronism: primary and secondary.
What hormones affect the secretion of other endocrine glands?
Pituitary gland
The function of angiotensin II is to?
1. constrict arterioles thus increase blood pressure, 2. stimulate ADH secretion from the anterior pituitary which increases water retention by the kidneys and also increases blood pressure, and 3. stimulate aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex which increases sodium retention in the kidneys leading to more water retention by the kidneys and helping to increase blood pressure too.
Which condition is not caused by a disorder of the adrenal gland?
Secondary Aldosteronism ~Branden H
What is the primary stimulus for the secretion of aldosterone?
The principal determinant for the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex is a decrease of blood pressure in the afferent arteriole.
What condition occurs when there is an increase in estrogen secretion by the adrenal cortex of men?
Asking a multiple-choice question without providing the choices doesn't really seem fair. The answer is: Adrenal feminization.
What hormone stimulates secretion from the adrenal cortex?
What a weird question!
What is an abnormal condition of excess androgen secretion observed primarily in woman?
Excess androgen secretion may be related to polycystic ovarian syndrome, which affects one in twenty women. Another cause may be congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

What is the medical term meaning hypofunction of the adrenal cortex?
Addison's disease is the result of inadequate secretion of cortisol by the adrenal cortex.When your adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol, it is called adrenal insufficiency. It can also be referred to as Addison's disease or hypocortisolism.
What is ACTH?
ACTH _____Triggers secretion of adrenal cortex hormones
Which glands produce hormones that increase metabolic activity and increase blood levels of glucose?
the adrenal glands
What is the medical term meaning developmental abnormality inherited as a recessive trait that is caused by excessive androgen secretion from the adrenal cortex of the female is called?
congential adrenal hyperplasia
What is the hormone that stimulates the growth and secretions of the adrenal cortex?
The simple answer would be estrogens. In reality, however, the adrenal glands produce actual estrogens in minute amounts only. Instead, they release the precursor molecules of the sex hormones into the bloodstream, and the gonads - testes or ovaries - convert these into testosterone and estrogens, respectively.
Why adrenal gland is ductless?
Adrenal glands are ductless in order to supply the secretion of hormones directly into the area requiring the levels. This bypasses the usage of a duct in order to regulate hormonal secretions.
