Annotation
PITUITARY-ADRENAL SYSTEM
is available
Scope Note
The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from
MESODERM
and comprised of three zones (outer
ZONA GLOMERULOSA
, middle
ZONA FASCICULATA
, and inner
ZONA RETICULARIS
) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as
ALDOSTERONE
;
HYDROCORTISONE
;
DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE
; and
ANDROSTENEDIONE
. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary
ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN
.
