Histology and
Embryology(MEDICINE)
ADRENAL GLANDS
The adrenal (suprarenal) glands secrete both
steroid hormones and catecholamines. They
have a flattened triangular shape and are
embedded in the perirenal fat at the superior
poles of the kidneys.
The adrenal glands are covered with a thick
connective tissue capsule from which
trabeculae extend into the parenchyma,
carrying blood vessels and nerves.
The secretory parenchymal tissue is
organized into two distinct regions
• The cortex is the steroid-secreting portion. It
lies beneath the capsule and constitutes
nearly 90% of the gland by weight.
• The medulla is the catecholamine-secreting
portion. It lies deep to the cortex and forms
the center of the gland.
Blood Supply
The adrenal glands are supplied with blood by
the:
superior
middle
and
inferior suprarenal arteries.
.Embryologically, the cortical cells originate from
mesodermal mesenchyme, whereas the
medulla originates from neural crest cells that
migrate into the developing gland.
Although embryologically distinct, the two
portions of the adrenal gland are functionally
related.
Cells of the Adrenal Medulla
The central portion of the adrenal gland, the
medulla, is composed of a parenchyma of
large, pale-staining epithelioid cells called
chromaffin cells (medullary cells),connective
tissue, numerous sinusoidal blood capillaries,
and nerves.
Ganglion cells are also present in the medulla.
???
Can chromaffin cells be found outside of the
adrenal medulla???
pheochromocytoma
• A rare tumor derived from chromaffin cells
• produces excessive amounts of catechol
amines.
• Most pheochromocytomas contain
predominantly chromaffin cells that secrete
norepinephrine in comparison with the
normal adrenal medulla that comprises about
85% epinephrine-secreting cells.
Zonation of the Adrenal Cortex
The adrenal cortex is divided into three zones on
the basis of the arrangement of its cells:
• Zona glomerulosa, the narrow outer zone that
constitutes up to 15% of the cortical volume
• Zona fasciculata, the thick middle zone that
constitutes nearly 80% of the cortical volume
• Zona reticularis, the inner zone that constitutes
only 5% to 7% of the cortical volume but is
thicker than the glomerulosa because of its more
central location

They have a flattened triangular shape and are embedded in the perirenal fat at the superior poles of the kidneys. The adrenal glands are covered with a thick connective tissue capsule from which trabeculae extend into the parenchyma, carrying blood vessels and nerves.

  • 4. The secretory parenchymal tissue is organized into two distinct regions • The cortex is the steroid-secreting portion. It lies beneath the capsule and constitutes nearly 90% of the gland by weight. • The medulla is the catecholamine-secreting portion. It lies deep to the cortex and forms the center of the gland.
  • 5. Blood Supply The adrenal glands are supplied with blood by the: superior middle and inferior suprarenal arteries.

  • 11. Cells of the Adrenal Medulla The central portion of the adrenal gland, the medulla, is composed of a parenchyma of large, pale-staining epithelioid cells called chromaffin cells (medullary cells),connective tissue, numerous sinusoidal blood capillaries, and nerves. Ganglion cells are also present in the medulla.

  • 14. ??? Can chromaffin cells be found outside of the adrenal medulla???
  • 15. pheochromocytoma • A rare tumor derived from chromaffin cells • produces excessive amounts of catechol amines. • Most pheochromocytomas contain predominantly chromaffin cells that secrete norepinephrine in comparison with the normal adrenal medulla that comprises about 85% epinephrine-secreting cells.
  • 16. Zonation of the Adrenal Cortex The adrenal cortex is divided into three zones on the basis of the arrangement of its cells: • Zona glomerulosa, the narrow outer zone that constitutes up to 15% of the cortical volume • Zona fasciculata, the thick middle zone that constitutes nearly 80% of the cortical volume • Zona reticularis, the inner zone that constitutes only 5% to 7% of the cortical volume but is thicker than the glomerulosa because of its more central location
