PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions. Adrenal glands are composed of two parts-the cortex and the medulla-which are each responsible for producing different hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hormones produced by the adrenal medulla are called catecholamines. They act as hormones and as neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the nervous system). They manage the body’s response to stress. The 2 more important catecholamines are epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney. The outer part of each gland is the adrenal cortex and the inner part is the adrenal medulla.
