Main article: Adrenal gland. The adrenal glands are located above the kidneys in humans and in front of the kidneys in other animals. The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.
Most hormones in the human body are produced by organs called ductless glands (endocrines). These include the two adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, the four parathyroid glands, the sex glands, and the thyroid gland.arious endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood, which carries them throughout the body. When a hormone arrives at its target organ or tissue it causes certain actions to take place. Hormones may be grouped according to the functions they control.
