Adrenal gland
The adrenal glands (also known as
Adrenal gland
suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that
produce a variety of hormones including
adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and
cortisol.[1][2] They are found above the kidneys.
Each gland has an outer cortex which produces
steroid hormones and an inner medulla. The
adrenal cortex itself is divided into three zones:
the zona glomerulosa, the zona fasciculata and
the zona reticularis.[3]
