The adrenal gland is classically considered part of the endocrine system, not part of the excretory system.

However, the rigid classification of organs into one particular organ system over another can seem rather artificial at times (because it is). With regard to your question, the excretory system commonly includes the gastrointestinal system (eg, stomach, liver, intestines, rectum) and urinary system (eg, kidney, ureter, bladder). Let's take a look at the kidney there. The kidney is definitely a part of the excretory system, but it is also an endocrine organ, and requires for its activity the ability to respond to a number of hormones released by other organs. One such hormone is aldosterone, a hormone released by the adrenal gland.
