Hormones secreted by the adrenal glands include:Ĭorticosteroid hormones (cortisol). Adrenal glands also secrete hormones that help a person cope with both physical and emotional stress. The adrenal glands work interactively with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to secrete hormones that affect metabolism, blood chemistry, and some physical characteristics.
An adrenal gland is made of 2 parts: the outer region, called the adrenal cortex, and the inner region, called the adrenal medulla.
Adrenal glands, which are also called suprarenal glands, are small, triangular glands located on top of each kidney.
