The Adrenal gland. As a point of interest the gland is named for is position above the kidney. Ad=above renal=kidney. The supstance it produces is called adrenaline. So the gland is named for its position and the hormoned named after the gland, logical no? But some people (Americans) think the rest of the world should call the hormone epinephrine simply because that's what they have been calling it...
They lie just above the kidneys (renal = pertaining to the kidney).
The adrenal glands are the endocrine glands not located in the head and neck region. They are situated on top of each kidney and play a crucial role in producing hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which are involved in stress response and metabolism regulation. In contrast, most other endocrine glands, like the pituitary and thyroid glands, are found in the head and neck area.
The adrenal medulla and the pituitary gland are endocrine glands made of a mixture of nervous and epithelial tissues. The adrenal medulla is part of the adrenal glands located on top of each kidney, while the pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it controls several other endocrine glands in the body.
