	The adrenal gland is situated on top of each one of the [[Kidneys\|kidneys]]. They weigh 8-10g in weight and there is one on each side of each kidney. The Adrenal Gland produces a number of [[Hormones\|hormones]] such as [[Epinephrine\|epinephrine]]. There are three main areas of the [[Adrenal_gland\|adrenal gland]], the [[Medulla]], [[Cortex]] and [[Capsule]]. The capsule surrounds the adrenal gland and gives strength.
