The adrenal (suprarenal) gland is a high-yield endocrine topic that fuses Physiology, Biochemistry, and Medicine. The cortex (outer 80–90%) is mesodermal and makes steroids; the medulla (inner 10–20%) is neural-crest derived and makes catecholamines. For NEET PG, the cortex is examined through three lenses: (1) which zone makes which hormone and what regulates it, (2) the steroidogenesis enzyme pathway and its block-
