An example of a neuroendocrine cell is a cell of the adrenal medulla (innermost part of the adrenal gland), which releases adrenaline to the blood.

The other hormones, some of the major ones, the pituitary, in addition to making TSH, it makes a hormone called ACTH, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, which acts on the adrenal cortex, and the adrenal is the gland that sits right on top of the kidney, and the outer layers of the adrenal gland are the adrenal cortex, and those are stimulated by ACTH.

This triggers the pituitary gland, a pea sized gland found at the base of the brain, to release adrenocorticotropic hormone which then stimulates the adrenal gland sitting on top of the kidneys to release cortisol, the major stress hormone.

The pituitary gland is called the master gland because from the pituitary gland we make hormones that work on yet other organs.

You also have adrenal androgens, which are somewhat important.

A gland is an organ in an animal's body that synthesizes a substance such as hormones for release into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities inside the body or its outer surface (exocrine gland).

And the adrenal glands make androgens, which are a masculinizing hormone.

IUCN, Gland, Switzerland, and Cambridge, England, 1991, p. 1.

The normal example, let's take the human mammary gland.

But the ultimate regulation is from that pituitary gland.

What this party needs is a little gland treatment.

Females, like males, have in our bodies something called the adrenal glands.

And those three hormones are the main hormones made by the adrenal cortex.

What he had was an extreme form of a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

The adrenal glands make the adrenal hormones like cortisol, which regulates glucose metabolism, which maintains blood pressure and well being, and then it makes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone which is important in regulating salt water balance.

The adrenal medullary cells are controlled by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

Mutations of SDHB play an important role in familial adrenal pheochromocytoma and extra adrenal paraganglioma (of abdomen and thorax), although there is considerable overlap in the types of tumors associated with SDHB and SDHD gene mutations.

Synthetic TRH is also used by physicians as a test of TSH reserve in the pituitary gland as it should stimulate the release of TSH and prolactin from this gland.

They are called 'ADrenal' because they are adjacent to the kidney, which is the 'renal' part,

The most common location for neuroblastoma to originate (i.e., the primary tumor) is on the adrenal glands.

He reportedly suffers from high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate gland and heart problems.

We're going to plunge into the body now, and we've landed in the thyroid gland.

However, recent studies have shown that bilateral idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia is the cause in up to 70 of cases.

Gland is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

Hypothalamus in the midbrain, pituitary gland nestled close by, thyroid, here, pancreas, here, adrenals, here, ovaries, here.

Excess radioiodine that does not get absorbed into the thyroid gland is eliminated by the body in urine.

Propylthiouracil also works outside the thyroid gland, preventing conversion of (mostly inactive) T4 to the active form T3.

The most alarming aspect of this is the increase in the incidence of cancer of the thyroid gland.

The ACTH primarily regulates the cortisol and the adrenal androgens, and there's another system that regulates the mineralocorticoids, that we'll talk about later.

The transcervical approach, a less invasive procedure, allows for removal of the entire thymus gland through a small neck incision.

It most frequently originates in one of the adrenal glands, but can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis.

In fact, these adrenal medullary cells are modified postganglionic neurons, and preganglionic autonomic nerve fibers lead to them directly from the central nervous system.

He had XX chromosomes, and in the womb, his adrenal glands were in such high gear that it created, essentially, a masculine hormonal environment.

Removal of the entire gland (radical perineal prostatectomy) was first performed in 1904 by Hugh H. Young at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Alcohol also limits the production of vasopressin (ADH) from the hypothalamus and the secretion of this hormone from the posterior pituitary gland.

Now if you take the mammary gland and spread it and take the fat away, on a dish it looks like that.

But the primary suspect is the apocrine sweat gland, present in both your arm pits and what is delicately termed your genital region.

We have shown that there's little pieces of DNA on the specific genes of the mammary gland that actually respond to extracellular matrix.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland. A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

Between 1986 and 1992 the number of cases of cancer of the thyroid gland in children increased by a factor of more than 32.

In the same way, you don't have to think about how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism.

TSH it makes, if the levels are too low, it will stimulate production of TSH to make the thyroid gland make more thyroid hormone.

Little girls who suffer from congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which is an endocrinological disorder that masculinizes little girls, they tend to then have toy preferences that are very much like
