Adrenal Glands

The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped organs located on top of each kidney. They play a crucial role in the body's response to stress by producing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones help regulate metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure, allowing the body to manage stress and maintain balance. The adrenal glands also produce sex hormones that influence reproductive functions. Overall, they are vital for maintaining homeostasis and helping the body respond to environmental changes and challenges.
