A schematic cross-section of the right adrenal gland depicts an outer adrenal cortex (beige) surrounding a central medulla (purple) with small vascular profiles. In anatomy and histology, this endocrine organ sits superior to the kidney in the retroperitoneal space, constituting part of the endocrine system. Functionally, the cortex secretes steroid hormones, including glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, while the medulla produces catecholamines EPI (epinephrine) and NE (norepinephrine) that mediate acute stress responses through the sympathetic–adrenal pathway.
