Vedclass · Answer

(C) The adrenal cortex is divided into three distinct layers: the outer $Zona$ $glomerulosa$,the middle $Zona$ $fasciculata$,and the inner $Zona$ $reticularis$.$1$. $Zona$ $glomerulosa$ primarily secretes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone.$2$. $Zona$ $fasciculata$ is the middle layer and is responsible for the secretion of glucocorticoids,such as cortisol.$3$. $Zona$ $reticularis$ secretes small amounts of sex steroids (androgens).$4$. The adrenal medulla secretes catecholamines like adrenaline and noradrenaline.Therefore,the correct answer is $Zona$ $fasciculata$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$

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