Title: Zona glomerulosa of the cortex of the adrenal gland
Description:
Zona glomerulosa. (A): Stain Masson, guinea pig. (B): Stain Azan, human. (C): Scheme electron microscopy, human.
The cortex of the adrenal gland consists of a zona glomerulosa (A, 1) just below the capsule, a zona fasciculata (A, 2) and a zona reticularis (not shown here).
The detail of the zona glomerulosa in (B) shows that the cells are arranged in round nests or clusters.
The electron micrograph scheme of such a glomerulosa cell is visualized in (C), human. Between the glomerulosa cells are numerous capillaries (C, 3). (C, 4) Lipid droplets with hormones. The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is the major product of the glomerulosa area. Their synthesis is affected by angiotensin II and ACTH. The arrows in (A) point to the dissolved lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. reason
why the cells were originally called spongiocytes.
Keywords/Mesh: adrenal gland, cortex, zona glomerulosa, aldosterone, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
