QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
The zona glomerulosa produces and secretes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone into the bloodstream, responding to altered serum potassium or decreased blood flow to the kidneys as part of the renin-angiotensin system. The zona fasciculata is responsible for glucocorticoid production and secretion.

b
Mineralocorticoids
QuestionChoice
This is a hormone released from the posterior pituitary gland in response to hyperosmolality, acting upon the collecting duct of the kidney. Addison's disease involves the adrenal glands and affects glucocorticoid production and secretion from the zona fasciculata.

e
Anti-diuretic hormone
QuestionChoice
The zona fasciculata is the biggest part of the adrenal cortex and secretes glucocorticoids such as cortisol in response to adrenocorticotrophic hormone. Glucocorticoids have a vital role in regulating glucose within the body, as well as impacting blood pressure and immune function.

a
Glucocorticoids
QuestionChoice
Oxytocin is a hormone released from the posterior pituitary gland in response to sexual activity and childbirth. By contrast, Addison's disease involves the adrenal glands and affects glucocorticoid production and secretion from the zona fasciculata.

d
Oxytocin
QuestionChoice
The adrenal medulla is responsible for secreting catecholamines. These include adrenaline and noradrenaline and are released in response to sympathetic nervous system stimulation. By contrast, Addison's disease involves the adrenal cortex and affects glucocorticoid production and secretion from the zona fasciculata.
