Adrenal Cortex Physiology (2)	

The adrenal cortex produces three major types of steroid hormones: mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens. 
The source of the mineralocorticoids (aldosterone and, in part, deoxycorticosterone) is the zona glomerulosa. Cortisol and the adrenal androgens are derived from the fasciculata and reticularis cells.
