Adrenal gland histology

Cortex

– Zona glomerulosa

(cells produce mineralocorticoids, e.g. aldosterone)

– Zona fasciculata

(cells named spongiocytes produce glucocorticoids,

e.g. cortisole)

– Zona reticularis

(gonadocorticoids,spongiocytes produce androgens –

weak masculinizing hormones, e.g.

dehydroepiandrosterone)
