Endo Quiz 5 Questions and Answers
1. adrenal cortex -external tissue
-mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens
2. adrenal medulla -internal tissue
-secretes epi and norepi
3. zona glomeru- -most superficial region of the adrenal cortex
losa -produces mineralocorticoids
4. zona fasciculata -middle layer of adrenal cortex
-produces glucocorticoids
5. zona reticularis -deepest region of adrenal cortex
-produces weak adrenal androgens
6. differences be- -glomerulosa cannot synthesize the precursors of glucocorticoids or adrenal an-
tween the adren- drogens
al zones -fasciculata and reticularis cannot produce aldosterone
7. Glomerulosa reg- -regulated by the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system
ulatory mecha-
nism
8. Fasciculata and -regulated by ACTH
retiularis regula-
tory system
9. Glucocorticoids -cortisol and cortisone
10. Mineralocorti- -aldosterone and 11-DOC
coids
