Vedclass · Answer

(A) The adrenal cortex is divided into three distinct layers based on the arrangement of cells: $1$. $Zona \ glomerulosa$: The outermost layer,which secretes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone. $2$. $Zona \ fasciculata$: The middle layer,which is the thickest layer and secretes glucocorticoids like cortisol. $3$. $Zona \ reticularis$: The innermost layer,which secretes small amounts of sex steroids (androgens). Therefore,the $Zona \ fasciculata$ is the middle layer of the adrenal cortex.

$A$. Zona reticularis	$1$. Outer layer (adrenal cortex)
$B$. Zona fasciculata	$2$. Inner layer (adrenal cortex)
$C$. Zona glomerulosa	$3$. Middle layer (adrenal cortex)
