The adrenal gland is divided into an inner adrenal medulla and an outer adrenal cortex. As the name 'adrenal' suggests, the adrenal glands secrete the peptide hormone adrenaline (epinephrine) which is involved in the fight-or-flight response. This is secreted by the adrenal medulla. The adrenal 'cortex' is involved in secreting corticosteroids, important fat-soluble hormones in the body. Since it is a gland that secretes hormones, it is known as an endocrine gland, part of the endocrine system.
