    Glossary Adrenal Gland Function

    regulates stress response and metabolism through hormone production

    The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of each kidney. They produce hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone, which help regulate metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response. Proper adrenal gland function is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and responding to physical and emotional stress.
