Adrenal Zones and Hormones

Diagram of an adrenal gland depicting the cortex and medulla, and their respective hormone production zones. The cortex is divided into zones - glomerulosa (aldosterone), fasciculata (cortisol), and reticularis (androgens). The medulla produces catecholamines.

Illustration displaying an adrenal gland cross-section with a magnified view of its zones. The color palette is primarily muted yellows, oranges, and browns. Arrows point from each zone; Zona Glomerulosa/Aldosterone cells are at the top, followed by Zona Fasciculata/Cortisol, and Zona Reticularis/Androgens at the bottom. Outside and to the left, a separate adrenal gand with text labels “cortex” and “medulla” and an arrow to a cluster of red dots labeled “catecholamines”
