adrenaline
cortisol
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.
The adrenocorticotropic hormone, that is released from the anterior pituitary gland is responsible for the release of hormones from the adrenal gland. The adrenal cortex hormones are essential for the survival of the individual. They make you able to face the stresses of life.
Some of the steroid hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex. Steroid hormones are soluble in lipids. Steroid hormones travel in the blood attached to the carrier proteins.
Yes, testosterone.
The adrenal medullas secrete hormones. It stressful situations, it release epinephrine and norepinephrine which increases heart rate, breathing rate, etc.Adrenal medulla produces the hormone adrenaline. It is released in response to stress.

You have the cortex and medulla in the adrenal gland. You have zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis in the cortex. It mainly secrets the hormones cortisol and hydrocortisones along with little sex hormones.
The function of the adrenal gland is to secrete hormones.
testes, ovaries and the adrenal cortex
ACTH _____Triggers secretion of adrenal cortex hormones
Aldosterone, Cortisol and some testosterone are all secreted by the adrenal cortex

adrenalin
The adrenal glands are separated into the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex releases corticosteroid hormones, androgens (testosterone), and aldosterone. Aldosterone regulates the osmotic activity in the kidneys, which are located right below the adrenal glands. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which control the fight-and-flight response. These hormones increase blood flow, raises heart beat, and causes sweating and increased breathing/respiration.
Hyposecretion of adrenal cortex hormones causes Addison's disease, that is weakness, fatigue and weight loss. Hypersecretion of adrenal cortex hormones causes increased blood glucose or Cushing's syndrome.
