Like the spleen, the thyroid and thymus glands are supposed to work some change in the blood, but what is not clearly known. The suprarenal capsules are two little bodies, one perched on the top of each kidney, in shape not unlike that of a conical hat. Of their functions nothing definite is known. Experiments.
These pulse and respiration findings are the more striking in that individuals in stupor are, by the very nature of their disease, free from emotional excitement. This imbalance could result from a poverty of circulating adrenalin which is necessary for the activation of the sympathetic nerves. A cause for low suprarenal function is to be found in the apathy of the stupor case.
He quotes several authorities as showing that during muscle work the carbon dioxid of the blood is increased in amount, which, stimulating the nervous centers controlling the suprarenal glands, increases the epinephrin content of the blood. The consequence is contraction of the splanchnic blood vessels, with a rise in general blood pressure.
And again, each of the glands of internal secretion plays a part, but most importantly the thyroid, the suprarenal cortex and the interstitial sex glands.
Hypodermic injections of 1/50 grain of atropine, suprarenal or pituitary extracts, may be found useful. Silvester's.
