Addison's Disease | life threatening disease caused by a partial or complete failure of adrenocortical function |
Adrenal Cortex | The outer portion of the Adrnal Gland |
Adrennal Medulla | The inner portion of the Adrenal Gland |
Aldose terne | A mineralcorticord hormone produced by the adrenal cortex to regulate sodium and potassium |
Corticosteroids | natural or synthetic adrenalcortical hormones produced by the cortex |
Cortex | the outer layers of a body organ |
Cushings syndrome | metabolic disorder caracterized by abnormally increased secretion of the adrenocortical steroids |
