WHAT DOES ADRENAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Adrenal gland

In mammals, the adrenal glands are endocrine glands that sit at the top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. They also produce androgens in their innermost cortical layer. The adrenal glands affect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, and recent data suggest that adrenocortical cells under pathological as well as under physiological conditions show neuroendocrine properties; within normal adrenal glands, this neuroendocrine differentiation seems to be restricted to cells of the zona glomerulosa and might be important for an autocrine regulation of adrenocortical function.

Definition of adrenal in the English dictionary

The first definition of adrenal in the dictionary is on or near the kidneys. Other definition of adrenal is of or relating to the adrenal glands or their secretions. Adrenal is also an adrenal gland.
