What is Adrenal Glands?
The adrenal glands are two small glands located above each kidney. Each has two parts: the cortex (outer) and medulla (inner), which produce different hormones.
Cortex (outer)
- •Cortisol — glucocorticoid, stress response, metabolism
- •Aldosterone — fluid and electrolyte balance
- •Androgens — minor sex hormones
Medulla (inner)
- •Adrenaline (epinephrine) — rapid mobilization, fight or flight
- •Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) — arousal, attention
In ONDA Life
Part 4 practises mobilizing when needed and settling back down afterwards — staying composed under pressure. ONDA does not measure adrenal hormones, and makes no claim that its practices change them.
