This field shows the zona glomerulosa (G) underlying the capsule and a small portion of the zona fasciculata (F) (bottom).

In the glomerulosa the glandular cells form irregular globular groups (suggested by the term glomerulosa). These groups of cells occasionally present an arched configuration. These cellular clusters are continuous with the cords or plates of the zona fasciculata. The boundary between these two zones is structurally imprecise.

In this preparation the collapsed vessels between the cords of glandular cells are barely visible, owing to the fixation procedure.
