Best Answer

Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland - more specifically, in the zona glomerulosa. The adrenal gland is located right above your kidneys. It's normally depicted in most images by a yellow triangular shaped object that sits atop both the left and right kidneys. Epinephrine or adrenaline is secreted by adrenal medula.

The adrenal glands above the kidneys secrete adrenaline and hormones similar to it. Mainly, the adrenal medulla secretes what we usually refer to as adrenaline, which is also called epinephrine. The adrenal cortex produce a similar neurotransmitter that has similar functions, called norepinephrine.
