excessive production of any hormone is called
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
The adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids, specifically cortisol.
Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex= the outer layer of the adrenal gland. The adrenal glands are on the top of the kidneys.
The adrenal medulla is the inner portion of the adrenal gland.
That is the Adrenal gland. Another name for this is the Suprarenal gland.
The adrenal medulla is located at the center of each adrenal gland, which sits atop each kidney. It is surrounded by the adrenal cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal gland. The adrenal medulla is responsible for producing hormones such as adrenaline and norepinephrine, which are crucial for the body's fight-or-flight response.
The outer region of the adernal glands is comprised of the Adrenal cortex, which encircles the adernal medulla.
The enlargement of the adrenal gland is called adrenal gland hypertrophy.
The adrenal glands release cortisone in response to stress or low blood glucose levels. Cortisone can also be synthetically produced for use in medication to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
The Adrenal Gland. This gland is divided into two categories, the Adrenal Cortex and the Adrenal Medulla. The Adrenal Medulla produced epinephrine and norepinephrine. Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline, and the beginning of the word, "adrenal", is the same name as the gland, The Adrenal Gland.
The adrenal gland rests on the kidneys
The central portion of the adrenal gland is known as the adrenal medulla. The function of the adrenal medulla is to secrete epinephrine into the body.
