What does the adrenal glands do in the endocrine system?

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.

Cushing's disease is the eponymous name for hyperadrenocorticolism, an endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands produce too much cortisol. This causes numerous symptoms in dogs, including weight gain, reduced immune function, stretching of the skin and increased appetite and thirst.

Treatment revolves around destroying just enough of the adrenal glands to regulate the amount of cortisol produced.
