Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The human body has one triangular-shaped adrenal gland at the top of each kidney. Each gland contains an outer adrenal cortex, which is responsible for producing hormones. Called steroid hormones, these include:
• aldosterone
• cortisol
Aldosterone helps control your blood pressure by managing the balance of potassium and sodium. Cortisol works in conjunction with adrenaline and noradrenaline. These are produced within the inside portion of the adrenal glands, called the medulla. These hormones help to regulate your reaction to stress. Cortisol also helps regulate your metabolism, sugar levels, and blood pressure.
