What parts of the adrenal gland are controled by the pituitary gland? i read that there are three parts of the adrenal gland.

The adrenal: cortex, or outer portion, is mostly controlled by the pituitary, and predominately produces cortisone, aldosterone and some sex hormones. The inner portion, or medulla, is regulated by blood pressure, nervous stimulation, emotions, etc. and produces epinephrine, norepinephrine and some other lesser hormones.

Complex gland: Hi. Two main parts of the adrenals: the cortex (outer) & the medulla (inner). The cortex makes steroid hormones with some controlled by the pituitary. The medulla makes catecholamines (no pituitary control). There are 3 zones to the cortex: glomerulosa, fasciculata, and reticularis. Fascic & retic make cortisol - pit ACTH control. Glomer makes aldosterone mostly under renin/angiotensin control.
