Where are the adrenal glands located in the body?

The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and energy production through hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, often referred to as the "master gland" because it regulates other glands in the endocrine system.
Adrenal glands are situated atop each kidney and are responsible for producing hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress responses.
Blood sugar levels are primarily regulated by the pancreas, which secretes insulin and glucagon.
The adrenal cortex mainly produces corticosteroids, including cortisol, which helps manage stress and reduce inflammation.
Parathyroid glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland and are crucial for regulating calcium levels in the blood.
The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels by facilitating cellular glucose uptake.
The thyroid gland’s main function includes the regulation of metabolism, growth, and development through hormone secretion.
The adrenal glands are positioned in pairs above each kidney, with each gland comprised of an outer cortex and an inner medulla.
