Vocabulary around adrenals
A read of this page, with the plate.


Class 19 is the hats on the kidneys. Course 17 named the clock at the top of the head. Course 18 named the neck. This hour sits two triangular glands, three to four inches, at T12. Cortex outside, medulla inside. Steroid from cholesterol in the outer house. Catecholamines from tyrosine in the inner. Essential for life. Permission first. Ask whether you are all alone in the auric field. If not, tracing waits. Chart 1-1 still orders the work. Adrenal fatigue as a diagnosis does not stand.
Practice
Name cortex, medulla, aldosterone, cortisol, epinephrine. Journal which word is knocking. Do not start a glandular because the list is long.
Check
This hour teaches that the adrenal has:
- Only a medulla that makes thyroxine
- A cortex of steroids and a medulla of catecholamines ✓
- Four glands on the back of the thyroid
Two houses. One hat on each kidney.
Adrenal fatigue as a diagnosis is:
- A student protocol
- A word this academy does not write ✓
- A reason to prescribe B5
Ari’s cut. Feelings can be taught. A bottle from a yield cannot.
Cortex on 19-1 is:
- The inner core of chromaffin cells
- The outer house — three layers of steroid from cholesterol ✓
- TSH
Mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, sex corticoid.
Medulla on 19-1 is:
- The outer steroid house
- The inner core — neural tissue, catecholamines, chromium as influence ✓
- The pineal
Not a shut board. Chromaffin cells.
Mineral for medulla and insulin on this vocabulary hour:
- Iodine
- Chromium as a name — carded here, not Course 12’s sugar paragraph ✓
- A dose of B5
The mineral this hat shares with the islands.
Catecholamines on 19-1 are:
- Aldosterone only
- Dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine — tyrosine is the precursor ✓
- T3 and T4
Course 18 already covered the fork. This hour sits it in the hat.
Quiet on this hour uses:
- Catecholamines
- Acetylcholine ✓
- Prednisone
Parasympathetic. Two messengers.
Aldosterone is:
- A catecholamine
- The mineralocorticoid — outer layer ✓
- Melatonin
Conserve sodium, toss potassium.
Glucocorticoids on this hour:
- Live in the medulla
- Cortisol, hydrocortisone, cortisone — excess blocks proline ✓
- Are TSH
Middle layer. Prednisone as a name.
A hormone already in a medical chart is:
- A student taper
- A physician ✓
- A reason to prescribe B5
Sudden withdrawal can kill. You do not.
