I thought hi mom made on the Testicles...
are wehn yewr h0rny/ Are testosterone and estrogen considered steroids or hormones? My teacher says they are produced in the cortex, but it says here that only the catecholamines are produced in the cortex. My teacher said testosterone and estrogen are produced in the medulla. Which is right? Dan 07:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Some emergencies require you to have your adrenal glands removed. How does that affect you? do the synthetic chemicals work as well, and what about the fight-or-flight response, is that basically gone?

I would be interested to see a journal reference for the statement that the zona fasciculata "have the same functions as cells of the zona fasciculata". The textbook view (for example, Junqueira and Carneiro, Basic Histology 11th ed) is that the z. fasciculata produces cortisol and the z. reticularis produces androgens.
My four month old grand daughter has been diagnosed with cancer on one of the adrenal glands. She is scheduled to have it removed today. What long term impact will there be if they remove one of the adrenal glands?
I edited out the references to the zona glomerulosa and zona fasciculata because the context they were originally used in may have confused readers into thinking that the z. glomerulosa and z. fasciculata were the adrenal medulla and cortex (respectively). More importantly, the z. glomerulosa and z. fasciculata are really the top two of the three layers of the adrenal cortex (the third, and deepest, is the z. reticularis). Also, the adrenal glands are not part of the sympathetic nervous system proper. It is more accurate to say that they are innervated by, and respond to stimulus from, the sympathetic nervous system. In another maniacal editorial rampage, I edited out "endocrine gland" because all glands are part of the endocrine system.
As if now (Mon Mar 18 02:38:51 PST 2002), there needs to be some more deliniation and writing up of the anatomy of the different stuf, the role of angiotensin II, etc.).

i don't understand why there are no reference to the cortical layers in the main article..every histology or physiology book focos it, and is functionaly very importante...diferent layers, diferent hormones, and the influence in each other production because of the interrelation with circulation.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.139.112.80 ( talk) 15:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

What happens if I eat one? Someone said I'd trip balls if I did cause of the overload of adrenaline and that's why cannibals thought they were absorbing the power of their half eaten foes when they ate them.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.91.47 ( talk) 14:30, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
In structure you stated that it weighs 256-295 pounds, did you mean 2.56 to 2.95 pounds? I mean I don't have any scientific proof to prove you are wrong. If you meant to state that, I can't figure out how I weight 140 pounds?... If my body weights 140 pounds how does something in my body weigh 256-295 pounds... and I still weigh 140.... It made me want to stop reading and I didn't know if I could trust the rest of the document, which seemed very informative until that point. So I thought I would tell you about it, to not deter others. ;) -- Nashataku ( talk) 04:48, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I merged the adrenal cortex and adrenal gland articles per the request of USER:Kosebamse who wrote on my user page that having too many pages makes it hard to know what is in the encyclopedia. I don't agree, but i don't really care how it is, and I think I'll do it Kosebamse's way. I'll see if there are other articles I developed in too much detail and that could be merged with a master article. SoCal
Some comparative anatomy and physiology would definitely fill a huge void in this largely anthropocentric article. -- Diberri | Talk 01:21, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
Someone please add a picture of location in the body!! thx

I'm planning to do a complete revision of this article. While I think it's considerably well written, it needs some cleanup and there are text that belongs under different sections. Also most of the Function section is about not the production of hormones by the gland but the effects of such hormones in the body. What I plan to do here:
I'm not deleting any text here, as I said it is quite well written. If someone is willing to give a hand or some advice it will be much appreciated ;). -- Tilifa Ocaufa ( talk) 11:43, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
