The adrenal glands secrete epinephrine. These glands are located atop each kidney.
Adrenal Glands
epinephrine and norepinephrine are released by the adrenal glands
The adrenal medulla, which is part of the adrenal glands, is responsible for producing and releasing epinephrine (also known as adrenaline). Epinephrine helps to regulate the body's "fight or flight" response in times of stress or danger.
Epinephrine is controlled through a negative feedback system involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. When the body perceives stress or danger, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone, which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to produce and release epinephrine. Once the epinephrine levels are sufficient to address the stressor, the negative feedback loop is activated to reduce further release.

Adrenal glands
Adrenal gland, specifically its inner cortex.
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a hormone released from the adrenal glands and its major action, together with noradrenaline, is to prepare the body for "fight or flight".
No, epinephrine is not classified as an eicosanoid. Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter that is produced in the adrenal glands, whereas eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from fatty acids.
The adrenal gland (more specifically the Adrenal Medulla).
Epinephrine (also called adrenaline) is secreted by Adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands).
