    GlossaryAdrenal Glands (Adrenal Medulla)

    small glands atop kidneys producing stress-related hormones

    The adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of each kidney. They consist of two main parts: the adrenal cortex, which produces steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, and the adrenal medulla, which produces adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones are crucial for regulating metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and the body's response to stress.
