Question

what part of the adrenal gland produces corticosteroids and androgens? (1 point)
○ cortex
○ anterior lobe
○ medulla
○ posterior lobe

Explanation:

The adrenal gland has two main parts: the cortex and the medulla. The adrenal cortex is responsible for producing corticosteroids (like cortisol, aldosterone) and androgens. The anterior and posterior lobes are parts of the pituitary gland, not the adrenal gland, and the medulla produces catecholamines (like epinephrine and norepinephrine). So the correct option is the one related to the cortex.

Answer:

A. cortex
