Adrenal cell

ADRENALOGENIC CELL

Adrenal cells (lat. cellula adrenalogena) are cells of the adrenal medulla that produce adrenaline.

Adrenergic cells are located in the adrenal medulla. They have a round or polygonal shape and contain numerous secretory granules in which synthesized adrenaline accumulates.

The main function of adrenal cells is the synthesis and release of the hormone adrenaline. The synthesis of adrenaline occurs from the amino acid tyrosine with the participation of enzymes. Adrenaline is released into the blood and has a variety of effects, including increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and dilation of the bronchi.

Thus, adrenal cells of the adrenal glands play an important role in regulating the most important functions of the body through the production of the hormone adrenaline.

Adrenaline is a stressful state of a person, provoked by a sudden critical situation. At the same time, blood pressure rises and the heart beats faster. In other words, the body works to the limit of its capabilities until it finds a solution to the problem. But with very long-term stress, the adrenal glands begin to produce less of the hormone adrenaline. This can lead to a disease called adrenaluria.

Normal levels of adrenaline in the blood are necessary in order to function and survive normally. However, if levels of this hormone are too high, it can lead to a variety of health problems, including hypertension, stroke, heart failure and diabetes, depending on which hormones are associated with increased levels of adrenaline produced by the adrenal glands.

Adrenaline is released when the body is exposed to physical stress, such as escaping predators, violent conflict, or being threatened. The level of adrenaline depends on the individual sensitivity of each person to specific stressful situations.

During times of extreme stress, a person may panic, experience stress, anxiety, anger and aggression. These emotions play an important role in preventing injury. When these emotions are not controlled, they can become depleted, emptying the reservoirs of your cells and leading you to develop adrenaluria, a dangerous disease that puts your life at risk.
