PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -You have two adrenal glands that are located on top of each of your kidneys. Your kidneys are located underneath your ribcage on each side of your spine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. The adrenal gland secretes steroid hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. It also makes precursors that can be converted to sex steroids (androgen, estrogen). A different part of the adrenal gland makes adrenaline (epinephrine).

Detailed explanation-4: -The connection of adrenal glands to your urinary system is the release of aldosterone-a hormone that sends signals to the kidneys to absorb more sodium into the bloodstream and release potassium into the urine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The inner part of the adrenal gland (a small organ on top of each kidney). The adrenal medulla makes chemicals such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) which are involved in sending nerve signals.
