Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Internal Secretions and the Principles of Medicine, Vol. 2 Gottschau31 Observed in histological preparations of the adrenals that protoplasmic masses projected from the medullary cells into the central vein of the organ, and that very slight pressure upon the latter would cause blood containing these masses to issue from it. They then assumed the aspect of bright, intensely refractive and colorless granules which, singly or in clumps of fifteen or twenty, were contained in the blood issuing from the organ. Manasse32 also noticed that hya line masses were secreted by rows of cells in the medullary canal of the adrenals and that they then passed into the ves sels of the latter. A similar observation was recorded by Auld,33 who refers to the secretion as a colloid. Stilling found the granules referred to by Gottschau not onlyin the cortical and medullary layers, but also in the tissue spaces. Pfaundler35 discovered similar granules in the lumina of the adrenal vessels and in the suprarenal vein where it opens into the vena cava.
