| 1. | Adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids.
|
| 2. | The adrenal cortex is the outermost layer of the adrenal gland.
|
| 3. | Steroids are synthesized from cholesterol in their respective regions of the adrenal cortex.
|
| 4. | L-type calcium channels are responsible for the excitation-endocrine cells of the adrenal cortex.
|
| 5. | Then, this acts on the adrenal cortex to produce glucocorticoids such as cortisol.
|
| 6. | In turn, ACTH directs the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids, such as cortisol.
|
| 7. | The outer region called the outer part which is called the adrenal cortex.
|
| 8. | The adrenal cortex is devoted to production of hormones, namely aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens.
|
| 9. | ACTH receptor is primarily found in the zona fasciculata of the human adrenal cortex.
|
| 10. | In the zona reticularis layer of the adrenal cortex, DHEA-sulfate is generated by SULT2A1.
