Question

Find out the correct layers in T.S. of adrenal gland.

• A. Medulla, Zona fasciculata, Zona reticularis, Zona glomerulosa
• B. Zona glomerulosa, Medulla, Zona reticularis, Zona fasciculata
• C. Zona glomerulosa, Zona fasciculata, Zona reticularis, Medulla
• D. Zona reticularis, Zona fasciculata, Zona glomerulosa, Medulla

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Zona glomerulosa, Zona fasciculata, Zona reticularis, Medulla

Adrenal glands are paired glands located at the anterior part of the kidneys. It is composed of two types of tissues, adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla is located at the centre and the adrenal cortex lies outside the adrenal medulla. Adrenal cortex is divided into three layers - zona reticularis (innermost layer of the adrenal cortex), zona fasciculata (middle layer of the adrenal cortex) and zona glomerulosa (outermost layer of the adrenal cortex). The correct layers in T.S of adrenal gland is zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis and medulla.

So, the correct answer is 'zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis and medulla'.
