(b) : Adrenal glands or (suprarenal glands) are two triangular endocrine glands, each of which covers the superior surface of a kidney. Each gland has two parts, the medulla and cortex. The medulla forms the grey core of the gland; it consists mainlyof chromaffin tissue and is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system to produce adrenaline and noradrenaline. The cortex is a yellowish tissue surrounding the medulla. It is stimulated by pituitary hormones (principally $ACTH$) to produce three kinds of corticosteroid hormones, which affect carbohydrate metabolism ($e.g.$, cortisol), electrolyte metabolism ($e.g.$, aldosterone), and the sex glands (oestrogens and androgens). Thus injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of adrenaline.
