The zona reticularis of the adrenal gland produce precursors of androgens and testosterone.
It is the innermost layer of the adrenal cortex, lying deep to the zona fasciculate and superficial to the adrenal medulla. The cells (green) are arranged in cords between sinusoids (tan) and project in different directions giving a net-like appearance (i.e., reticulum).
Two macrophages (red) are partially seen in the sinuses at the top and bottom of the micrograph.
