The Adrenal Glands - Location - Structure - TeachMeAnatomy
2024年4月8日 · Anatomical Structure. The adrenal glands consist of an outer connective tissue capsule, a cortex and a medulla. Veins and lymphatics leave each gland via the hilum, but arteries and nerves enter the glands at numerous sites. The outer cortex and inner medulla are the functional portions of the gland.
Adrenal cortex - Wikipedia
The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of the adrenal gland. It is divided into three separate zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Each zone is responsible for producing specific hormones. It is also a secondary site of androgen synthesis. [2]
Adrenal Cortex: What It Is & Function - Cleveland Clinic
The adrenal cortex makes up a large part of your adrenal gland. It consists of three layers: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Each layer produces different hormones that regulate vital organ functions and bodily processes.
Adrenal Cortex: Structure, Hormones and Disorders - BYJU'S
The adrenal cortex is the outer and largest part of the adrenal gland. It is associated with the production of hormones that are essential for life. Inside the cortex lies the adrenal medulla, which also produces hormones. Layers of Adrenal Cortex. It is divided into three separate zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis.

17.6 The Adrenal Glands – Anatomy & Physiology
The adrenal glands, located superior to each kidney, consist of two regions: the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex—the outer layer of the gland—produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands: Where are Adrenal Glands and …
These two major sections of the adrenal are called the adrenal medulla (inner layer), and the adrenal cortex (outer layer). The Adrenal Medulla: The adrenal medulla comes from the neural crest (i.e. embryological basis similar to your central and peripheral nervous systems). It contains homogenous sheets of cells organized into nests.
