AB  - Now  would  be  a  good  time  to  do  a  quick  review  of  the  anatomy  of  the  adrenal  gland  and  the  normal  release  of  cortisol  and  aldosterone.  Remember  that  the  adrenal  medulla  produces  epinephrine  and  norepinephrine.  Within  the  adrenal  cortex,  there  are  three  layers.  The  zona  glomerulosa  (outer  layer)  produces  the  compounds  that  control  electrolyte  balance,  such  as  aldosterone.  The  zona  fasciculata  (middle  layer)  produces  the  compounds  that  regulate  metabolism,  such  as  hydrocortisone.  The  zona  reticularis  (inner  layer)  produces  the  sex  hormones  (see  Chapter  39).  The  pituitary  hormone  adrenocorticotropic  hormone  (ACTH)  controls  the  secretion  of,  primarily,  the  inner  two  layers.  The  production  of  mineralocorticoids  is  mainly  controlled  by  the  renin-angiotensin  system.
