What hormone does the adrenal glands secrete?
The adrenal glands are separated into the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex releases corticosteroid hormones, androgens (testosterone), and aldosterone. Aldosterone regulates the osmotic activity in the kidneys, which are located right below the adrenal glands. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which control the fight-and-flight response. These hormones increase blood flow, raises heart beat, and causes sweating and increased breathing/respiration.

From the adrenal cortex, which is a gland that synthesizes and secretes hormones located right above the kidney. the adrenal cortex also releases mineralcorticoids such as aldosterone, sex corticoids, and glucocorticoids (cortisone and cortisol). Both glucocorticoids work to increase the blood-glucose concentration by gluceogenesis.
Through what vein do secretions of both the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla leave the adrenal gland?
They go through the suprarenal veins. The left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein, although in a minority of individuals it drains into the inferior phrenic vein. The right suprarenal vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava.
