AB  - Identify  the  functional  anatomy  and  zones  of  the  adrenal  glands  and  the  principal  hormones  secreted  from  each  zone.Describe  and  contrast  the  regulation  of  synthesis  and  release  of  the  adrenal  steroid  hormones  (glucocorticoids,  mineralocorticoids,  and  androgens)  and  the  consequences  of  abnormalities  in  their  biosynthetic  pathways.Understand  the  cellular  mechanism  of  action  of  adrenal  cortical  hormones  and  identify  their  major  physiologic  actions,  particularly  during  injury  and  stress.Identify  the  major  mineralocorticoids,  their  biologic  actions,  and  their  target  organs  or  tissues.Describe  the  regulation  of  mineralocorticoid  secretion  and  relate  this  to  the  regulation  of  sodium  and  potassium  excretion.Identify  the  causes  and  consequences  of  oversecretion  and  undersecretion  of  glucocorticoids,  mineralocorticoids,  and  adrenal  androgens.Identify  the  chemical  nature  of  catecholamines  and  their  biosynthesis  and  metabolic  fate.Describe  the  biologic  consequences  of  sympatho-adrenal  medulla  activation  and  identify  the  target  organs  or  tissues  for  catecholamine  effects  along  with  the  receptor  types  that  mediate  their  actions.Describe  and  integrate  the  interactions  of  adrenal  medullary  and  cortical  hormones  in  response  to  stress.Identify  diseases  caused  by  oversecretion  of  adrenal  catecholamines.
