Adrenal Cortex Layers

Think of an adrenal gland chilling on a kidney in a swim suit, drinking a margarita...

When drinking a margarita, you get "salt, sugar, then sex... the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets!"

Also, it's on the kidney, so it can observe the "GFR" - corresponds to the layers of the cortex.

Adrenal cortex layers from most superficial to deep:

Zona Glomerulosa: produces aldosterone

Zona Fasciculata: produces mostly cortisol

Zona Reticularis: produces mostly androgens
