Question
Where adrenal gland is located in the human body? How many parts are there in this gland? Name them.
Answer
The adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney in the human body. It is divided into two parts – the outer adrenal cortex and the inner adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex secretes steroid hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens, while the adrenal medulla secretes catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine.
