adrenal cortex 肾上腺皮质 AAO:0011009 All craniates have groups of cells homologous to the mammalian adrenocortical and chromaffin tissues (medulla), but they are scattered in and near the kidneys in fishes. (...) The cortical and chromaffin tissues come together to form adrenal glands in tetrapods.[well established][VHOG] BTO:0000045 CALOHA:TS-0015 EFO:0000237 EMAPA:18427 EV:0100136 FMA:15632 GAID:447 Kardong states that mammals are the first to have distinct cortext and medulla, but this contradicts XAO MA:0000118 MAT:0000494 MESH:D000302 UBERON:0001235 UMLS:C0001613 VHOG:0001481 XAO:0000165 adrenal gland cortex cortex (glandula suprarenalis) cortex glandulae suprarenalis cortex of adrenal gland cortex of suprarenal gland suprarenal suprarenal cortex the thick outer layer of the adrenal gland that produces and secretes steroid hormones such as corticosterone, estrone and aldosterone uberon Kardong说哺乳动物首先具有明显的皮质和髓质，但这与XAO矛盾。 产生并分泌皮质酮、雌酮和醛固酮等类固醇激素的肾上腺的厚外层 所有颅骨都有与哺乳动物肾上腺皮质和嗜铬细胞组织（髓质）同源的细胞群，但它们散布在鱼类的肾内和肾附近。（...）皮质组织和嗜铬细胞组织在四足动物中汇合形成肾上腺。[well established][VHOG] 皮层（肾上腺） 肾上皮质 肾上腺(suprarenal) 肾上腺皮质 肾上腺皮质(adrenal gland cortex) 肾上腺皮质(cortex of adrenal gland) 肾上腺皮质(cortex of suprarenal gland) cortex 皮质 mesoderm-derived structure 中胚层衍生结构 neural crest-derived structure 神经嵴衍生结构
