A schematic cross-section of the left adrenal (suprarenal) gland shows the outer adrenal cortex (orange) surrounding the central medulla (purple) with sinusoidal vessels. In anatomical and endocrine physiology contexts, this organ of the endocrine system sits atop the kidney in the retroperitoneum. The cortex—comprising zona glomerulosa, fasciculata, and reticularis—produces steroid hormones such as aldosterone and cortisol under ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), while the medulla’s chromaffin cells secrete catecholamines, including epinephrine (EPI) and norepinephrine (NE).
