Summary Introduction

Introduction: The adrenal gland is a pair of ductless glands situated above the kidneys. Each of these glands is composed of a core region or adrenal medulla. It secretes the noradrenaline, and adrenaline. The outer region of the adrenal gland is the adrenal cortex that releases the corticosteroids.

The zona fasciculata forms the middle as well as the widest region of the adrenal cortex that is located directly under the zona glomerulosa. The component cells are organized into the fascicles or bundles.
