disease results from a deficiency in adrenocortical hormones. may be increased pigmentation of skin, generalized weakness, & wt loss

development of female secondary sexual characteristics (such as breasts) in a male. often result of increased estrogen secretion by the adrenal cortex

development of male secondary sexual characteristics (such as deeper voice and facial hair) in a female. often a result of icnreased androgen secretion by the adrenal cortex

set of symptoms that result from hypersecretion of the adrenal cortex. may be the result of a tumor of the adrenal glands. may present symptoms of weakness, edema, excess hair growth, skin discoloration, and osteoporosis
