The adrenal glands consist of :
- A. lower adrenal and upper paradrenal sections
- B. ACTH and BCTH sections
- C. the inner and outer layer of the kidney
- D. the inner medulla and the outer cortex

The adrenal glands consist of two distinct regions: an outer cortex that produces corticosteroids (e.g., cortisol, aldosterone) and an inner medulla that produces catecholamines (e.g., adrenaline). Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they either refer to non-anatomical divisions or misidentify the structure (e.g., as part of the kidney).
