- In mammals, either of a pair of complex endocrine glands, situated above each kidney, secreting hormones which control the heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism
- adrenal gland
- Gland that is present above each kidney The cortex of the gland secretes glucocorticoids whereas the medulla secretes noradrenaline (Norepinephrine)
- adrenal gland
- Gland next to the kidney that produces cortisone and epinephrine (adrenalin)
- adrenal gland
- The main function of the adrenal glands is to produce hormones which control metabolism, fluid balance, and blood pressure In addition, they produce small amounts of 'male' hormones (androgens) and 'female' hormones (estrogens and progesterone) One adrenal gland is found near each kidney
- adrenal gland
- n. Either of two small, dissimilarly shaped endocrine glands, one located above each kidney, consisting of the cortex, which secretes several steroid hormones, and the medulla, which secretes epinephrine. Also called suprarenal gland. or suprarenal gland Either of two small, triangular endocrine glands over the kidneys. In humans, each gland weighs about 0.15 oz (4.5 g) and consists of an inner medulla, which produces the catecholamine hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, and an outer cortex (about 90% of the gland), which secretes the steroid hormones aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens (the last two in response to ACTH from the pituitary gland). Diseases of the adrenal glands include pheochromocytoma (a tumour of the medulla) and the cortical disorders Addison disease, adrenal hypertrophy, Cushing syndrome, and primary aldosteronism
