Identify the labeled part of the diagram and select its correct function –
A is Zona glomerulosa secrete cortisol which is an anti-inflammatory and stress hormone.
B is Zona reticularis secreted sex corticoid which is a testosterone-like compound.
C is Zona fasciculata secrete glucocorticoid and increases glucose level.
A is Zona glomerulosa which secrete mineralocorticoid.
The diagram represents the Adrenal gland.
A is Zona glomerulosa ( outer layer) which secrete mineralocorticoid. Mineralocorticoid regulates the balance of water and electrolytes in our body. Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid.
B is zona fasciculata ( middle layer) which secrete glucocorticoid, and stimulates gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis under the influence of catecholamines. It mainly produces anti-inflammatory action and suppresses the immune response.
C is zona reticularis ( inner layer) secreted sex corticoid which is a testosterone-like compound.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
