Case description

Demonstrate the thickness of the adrenal cortex. Does the general term adrenal atrophy usually refer to the cortex or medulla?
Could the term hypoplasia apply here as well? Name 2 common causes of cortical atrophy, i.e. cortical hypoplasia.

What is the normal thickness (in mm) of an adrenal cortex? What bright color is it grossly? Why? What color is the medulla grossly?
