Sometimes the apparition floated over her bed at night. Once, while visiting Irene, Karen gasped and cried out that Missy was sitting on the sofa. After one of her visits to Missyâs grave, Karen told a friend, her van wouldnât start. âMissy, let me go!â she screamed, convinced that the dead girl was responsible.
Nerve supply. The adrenal glands have a rich nerve supply. These nerves are derived from the coeliac plexus and the thoracic splanchnic nerves. The nerves supply the chromaffin cells of the medulla, but careful microscopy has shown that nerve trunks and plexuses may also appear in the cortical layers.
The adrenal glands are divided into an outside layer called the cortex and an inner layer called the medulla. Cells in the adrenal cortex make steroid hormones derived from cholesterol, including glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and androgrens.The medulla makes catecholamines (adrenaline).ow levels of the hormones of the adrenal gland may result from disease in the adrenal gland itself (âprimaryâ adrenal insufficiency) or from failure of the pituitary gland to adequately stimulate the production of adrenal hormones (âsecondaryâ adrenal insufficiency).
