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.
  Hormones are produced only by the endocrine glands, e.g., the pituitary, the adrenals, etc.. Hormones are chemical messengers: they are sent by the glands to â¦ target organs and stimulate them to produce specific effects, e.g. the hormone thyroxin is manufactured by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolism.
