Zona fasciculata

The zona fasciculata (sometimes, fascicular or fasciculate zone) constitutes the middle and also the widest zone of the adrenal cortex, sitting directly beneath the zona glomerulosa. ^[1]

Adrenal gland

Adrenal cortex

The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of the adrenal gland. Zona fasciculata and adrenal cortex are adrenal gland.

See Zona fasciculata and Adrenal cortex

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH; also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced by and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

See Zona fasciculata and Adrenocorticotropic hormone

An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors.

See Zona fasciculata and Androgen

Anterior pituitary

A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) which, in humans, is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus.

See Zona fasciculata and Anterior pituitary

Corticosterone

Corticosterone, also known as 17-deoxycortisol and 11β,21-dihydroxyprogesterone, is a 21-carbon steroid hormone of the corticosteroid type produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands.

See Zona fasciculata and Corticosterone

Cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid hormone in the glucocorticoid class of hormones and a stress hormone.

See Zona fasciculata and Cortisol

Cushing's syndrome

Cushing's syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms due to prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids such as cortisol.

See Zona fasciculata and Cushing's syndrome

CYP17A1

Cytochrome P450 17A1 (steroid 17α-monooxygenase, 17α-hydroxylase, 17-alpha-hydroxylase, 17,20-lyase, 17,20-desmolase) is an enzyme of the hydroxylase type that in humans is encoded by the CYP17A1 gene on chromosome 10.

See Zona fasciculata and CYP17A1

Dehydroepiandrosterone

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is an endogenous steroid hormone precursor.

See Zona fasciculata and Dehydroepiandrosterone

Fight-or-flight response

The fight-or-flight or the fight-flight-freeze-or-fawn (also called hyperarousal or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.

See Zona fasciculata and Fight-or-flight response

Genetic disorder

A genetic disorder is a health problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.

See Zona fasciculata and Genetic disorder

Glucocorticoid

Glucocorticoids (or, less commonly, glucocorticosteroids) are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.

See Zona fasciculata and Glucocorticoid

Hyperplasia

Hyperplasia (from ancient Greek ὑπέρ huper 'over' + πλάσις plasis 'formation'), or hypergenesis, is an enlargement of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the amount of organic tissue that results from cell proliferation.

See Zona fasciculata and Hyperplasia

McCune–Albright syndrome

McCune–Albright syndrome is a complex genetic disorder affecting the bone, skin and endocrine systems. It is a mosaic disease arising from somatic activating mutations in GNAS, which encodes the alpha-subunit of the Gs heterotrimeric G protein. It was first described in 1937 by American pediatrician Donovan James McCune and American endocrinologist Fuller Albright.

See Zona fasciculata and McCune–Albright syndrome

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Zona fasciculata and Neoplasm

Rodent

Rodents (from Latin rodere, 'to gnaw') are mammals of the order Rodentia, which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.

See Zona fasciculata and Rodent

Spongiocyte

In the human endocrine system, a spongiocyte is a cell in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex containing lipid droplets that show pronounced vacuolization, due to the way the cells are prepared for microscopic examination.

See Zona fasciculata and Spongiocyte

Zona glomerulosa

The zona glomerulosa (sometimes, glomerular zone) of the adrenal gland is the most superficial layer of the adrenal cortex, lying directly beneath the renal capsule. Zona fasciculata and zona glomerulosa are adrenal gland.

See Zona fasciculata and Zona glomerulosa

Zona reticularis

The zona reticularis (sometimes, reticulate zone) is the innermost layer of the adrenal cortex, lying deep to the zona fasciculata and superficial to the adrenal medulla. Zona fasciculata and zona reticularis are adrenal gland.

See Zona fasciculata and Zona reticularis
