The nurse is providing education for a client with adrenal insufficiency about the anatomy and function of the adrenal glands. Which statements will the nurse include in the material? Select all that apply.
A) "The outer layer of the adrenal gland is referred to as the zona reticularis."
B) "The adrenal gland's inner layer is responsible for the production of adrenaline."
C) "The adrenal cortex layers include the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis."
D) "The zona glomerulosa is responsible for the production of aldosterone."
E) "The adrenal gland produces cortisol, which increases gluconeogenesis."
C) "The adrenal cortex layers include the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis."
D) "The zona glomerulosa is responsible for the production of aldosterone."
E) "The adrenal gland produces cortisol, which increases gluconeogenesis."
Explanation: A) The adrenal cortex is divided into three layers. The inner layer is the zona reticularis; the middle layer is the zona fasciculata; and the outer layer is the zona glomerulosa, not the zona reticularis. The zona glomerulosa produces aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid. The zona fasciculata produces glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol, which have diverse effects on a variety of tissues, and ultimately increases gluconeogenesis. The adrenal gland's inner layer is not responsible for the production of adrenaline.
B) The adrenal cortex is divided into three layers. The inner layer is the zona reticularis; the middle layer is the zona fasciculata; and the outer layer is the zona glomerulosa, not the zona reticularis. The zona glomerulosa produces aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid. The zona fasciculata produces glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol, which have diverse effects on a variety of tissues, and ultimately increases gluconeogenesis. The adrenal gland's inner layer is not responsible for the production of adrenaline.
C) The adrenal cortex is divided into three layers. The inner layer is the zona reticularis; the middle layer is the zona fasciculata; and the outer layer is the zona glomerulosa, not the zona reticularis. The zona glomerulosa produces aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid. The zona fasciculata produces glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol, which have diverse effects on a variety of tissues, and ultimately increases gluconeogenesis. The adrenal gland's inner layer is not responsible for the production of adrenaline.
