- Our body has one pair of adrenal glands, one at the anterior part of each kidney.
- The gland is composed of two types of tissues.
- The centrally located tissue is called the adrenal medulla, and outside this lies the adrenal cortex
- The adrenal medulla secretes two hormones called adrenaline or epinephrine and noradrenaline or norepinephrine. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- The adrenal cortex secretes many hormones, commonly called corticoids.
- The corticoids, which are involved in carbohydrate metabolism are called glucocorticoids. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
- Corticoids, which regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in our body are called mineralocorticoids.
