Summary Introduction
To review:
The explanation of three zones of the adrenal cortex by the word roots: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis.
Introduction:
Complex terms in the field of biology are generally comprised of two or more than two short terms or words. These constituting terms or words are often referred to as word roots. The meaning, as well as the definition of a complex, can be deduced by understanding the word roots and their meanings.
