To compare:
The adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla on the basis of their location within adrenal gland.
Introduction:
Adrenal glands are paired endocrine glands which are present above the kidneys. The adrenal glands have two regions, namely- outer cortex and an inner medulla.
To compare:
The adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla on the basis of hormones produced by them.
Introduction:
The adrenal cortex is the outer layer of the adrenal gland and the adrenal medulla is the central region of the adrenal glands.
To compare:
The adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla on the basis of organs which are targeted by the hormones they secrete.
Introduction:
The adrenal cortex secretes steroids, namely- glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and testosterone. The adrenal medulla secretes amino acid derived hormones, namely- epinephrine and norepinephrine.
