the adrenal cortex
the adrenal gland produces hormones that affects growth, development and stress, and also helps to regulate kidney function. there are two parts of the adrenal glands, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. the adrenal cortex produces mineralocorticoids, which regulate salt and water balance within the body, glucocorticoids (including cortisol) which have a wide number of roles within the body, and androgens, hormones with testosterone-like function. the adrenal medulla produces epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). disorders of the adrenal gland may affect the production of one or more of these hormones.
