Adrenal Gland

The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped organs located on top of each kidney. They produce hormones that help regulate many important functions, including your metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and how your body responds to stress. They release hormones like adrenaline, which prepares you for sudden stress, and cortisol, which helps control inflammation and energy levels. Additionally, they produce small amounts of sex hormones. The adrenal glands play a vital role in maintaining balance in your body's systems to keep you healthy and responsive to daily challenges.
