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

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).
