Adrenal

The two adrenal glands rest over both kidneys. They produce cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. Together, these hormones mediate the body’s stress, or “fight or flight” response – managing blood pressure, heart function, immune system function, glucose utilization, and other aspects of metabolism.
