The adrenal glands are above each kidney. They are divided into two parts the cortex and the medulla.
The cortex is responsible for secreting steroid hormones of which there are three types:
Corticosteroids i.e.cortisol, which control glucose levels in the body Mineralocorticoids i.e. aldosterone, which regulate the mineral balance
Sex hormones, i.e. androgens, (testosterone and oestrogen) which are responsible for sexual charaterisctics
The medulla or inner section secretes two hormones, adrenalin and nor-adrenaline which create conditions in the body for the 'flight', 'fight' & 'fright' mechanism.
