The part of adrenal cortex which secretes cortisol is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Zona faciculata
The Zona fasciculata constitutes the middle zone of the adrenal cortex, sitting directly beneath the Zona glomerulosa. It chiefly produces glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol in the human), which regulates the metabolism of glucose, especially in times of stress. This tissue also generates a small amount of weak androgens as well. Hence option D is correct.
