The outer portion of the adrenal gland located on top of each kidney. The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones which regulate carbohydrate and fat metabolism and mineralocorticoid hormones which regulate salt and water balance in the body. Underfunction of the adrenal cortex results in Addison disease while overfunction occurs in the adrenogeni [..]

The outer part of the adrenal gland (a small organ on top of each kidney). The adrenal cortex makes androgen and corticosteroid hormones.

The outermost part of the adrenal gland

 An endocrine organ that secretes corticosteroids for metabolic functions: aldosterone for sodium retention in the kidneys, androgens for male sexual development, and estrogens for female sexual devel [..]

the exterior membrane of the adrenal gland which discharges many of chemicals into the body, such as androgens, mineralocorticoids, and glucocorticoids.

The Adrenal Cortex is the area of the brain that surrounds and is immediately adjacent to the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland secretes adrenaline as a response to stress. The adrenal cortex controls [..]

The outer rind of the adrenal gland. See Figures 5.1, 5.16; Table 5.2.

The outer layer of the Adrenal Gland. It is derived from Mesoderm and comprised of three zones (outer Zona Glomerulosa, middle Zona Fasciculata, and inner Zona Reticularis) with each producing various [..]

The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various [..]

An endocrine organ that secretes steroid hormones for metabolic functions; for example, in response to stress.

The outer part of the adrenal gland (a small organ on top of each kidney). The adrenal cortex makes androgen and corticosteroid hormones.

<anatomy, endocrinology> This is the outer portion of the fattyacids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. Mineralocortoids regulate the levels of minerals such as sodium and potassium in the blood. (06 May 1997)

The outer portion of the adrenal gland. The adrenal cortex secretes steroids that have multiple effects.

(anatomy) The outer portion of the adrenal glands that produces hormones essential to homeostasis

the outer three layers of the adrenal gland, as contrasted with the innermost part, the medulla. The cortex produces steroidal hormones, among them the glucocorticoid cortisol, and nonpotent sex hormo [..]
