Zona Glomerulosa

The zona glomerulosa is located just beneath the capsule of the adrenal gland and contains cells arranged in clusters separated by trabeculae that are continuous with the capsule. These cells produce aldosterone that is important for sodium and water reabsorption. The cells of the zona glomerulosa have distinct round nuclei and a higher nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio than the cells of the adjacent zona fasciculata.
