| Abstract: | A comparative morphometric study of male adrenals was conducted in case pulmonary thanatogenesis. A response was registered, it was associated with a dominating weight of the left adrenal (LA) and of its cortical substance over the similar parameters of the RA. The intensity and the time of the onset of reactions in different LA morphofunctional zones were found to be different in mechanical asphyxia and in carbon-monoxide intoxication. It is suggested that the occurring changes can reflect the action mechanism and result from the embryogenesis-conditioned specificity of functioning of paired organs. |
