Match the adrenal cortex hormone function with its respective zone:
Regulate electrolytes and blood pressure = Zona Glomerulosa Regulate and increase glucose levels, bone metabolism = Zona Fasciculata Precursor for testosterone and estrogen synthesis = Zona Reticularis
Match the adrenal cortex layer with its respective hormone:
Zona Glomerulosa = Aldosterone Zona Fasciculata = Cortisol Zona Reticularis = DHEA
Match the adrenal medulla hormone with its name:
Epinephrine = Adrenal Medulla Norepinephrine = Adrenal Medulla
Match the adrenal cortex hormone with its function:
Helps regulate electrolytes and blood pressure = Aldosterone Helps regulate and increase glucose levels, bone metabolism = Cortisol Precursor for testosterone and estrogen synthesis = DHEA
Match the adrenal cortex layer with its location in the gland:
Outermost layer = Zona Glomerulosa Middle layer = Zona Fasciculata Innermost layer = Zona Reticularis

Match the type of Cushing’s syndrome with its cause:
Exogenous Cushing’s syndrome = Caused by factors outside of the body Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome = Caused by factors inside the body Cushing’s disease = Caused by an ACTH-producing pituitary tumor Pituitary adenoma = Type of tumor that can lead to Cushing’s disease
Match the role of cortisol with its function:
Stress hormone = Released during times of stress or danger Cortisol = Helps the body respond to stress Hypercortisolism = Physiological state exposed to high levels of cortisol Adrenal glands = Organs where cortisol is produced and released
Match the following terms with their impact:
Sustained high cortisol levels = Can be problematic for the body Chronic corticosteroid medication use = Example of exogenous Cushing’s syndrome cause ACTH-producing pituitary tumor = Can lead to Cushing’s disease Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands = Where cortisol is produced and released
Match the examples with their category:
Adrenal carcinoma = Example of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome cause Pituitary adenoma = Example of tumor causing Cushing’s disease Styling web pages = Function not related to cortisol or Cushing's syndrome Database queries = Function not related to cortisol or Cushing's syndrome
