Modern Aspects of Morphological Changes in the Adrenal Glands in Chemical Burn of the Digestive Tract

Abstract

Along with increased production of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex in response to stress reactions, reactive changes in the sympathoadrenal system occur. In this case, massive amounts of adrenaline are released into the blood and accumulate in the tissues, with a parallel decrease in the content of noradrenaline. Adaptation in the adrenal glands during critical anemia and hyperoxia of the body occurs first due to the medulla, then due to the cortex.
