14.20 Adrenal cortex

Version française

This field shows the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex of a dog.

The cords or plates are composed of double rows of glandular cells separated by collapsed connective tissue spaces (arrows).

In this case the glandular cells have a vacuolated cytoplasm (*), the vacuoles corresponding to the spaces left by the dissolution of lipid droplets during the histological procedure.
