2. What are the adrenal glands
• these powerful little hormone producing
glands manufacture and secrete almost
50 different hormones, including steroid
hormones such as
adrenalin, cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen
and testosterone that are absolutely
essential to your health and vitality. They
also have important effects on the fluid
balance control and blood sugar
regulation. . They even regulate how you
think and feel and determine how
effective your immune system functions.
Without the hormones the adrenals
produce you would die very quickly, and
when out of balance the quality of your
health and wellbeing becomes severely
compromised

3. What are their Anatomy?
• Adrenal glands, which are
also called suprarenal
glands, are
small, triangular glands
located on top of both
kidneys. An adrenal gland
is made of two parts: the
outer region is called the
adrenal cortex and the
inner region is called the
adrenal medulla.Pic. 4

4. Adrenal cortex
• the outer portion of the
adrenal gland, secretes
hormones that have an
effect on the body's
metabolism, on chemicals in
the blood, and on certain
body characteristics. The
adrenal cortex secretes
corticosteroids and other
hormones directly into the
bloodstream.

5. Adrenal medula
• the inner part of the
adrenal gland, is not
essential to life, but helps
a person in coping with
physical and emotional
stress. Produces
epinephrine (also called
adrenaline) and
norepinephrine (also
called noradrenaline)
