  2. Where in the body can the gland be located?Enjoy • As you can see, the adrenal gland is right above the kidneys

  3. What hormones and type of hormones does the gland produce? Enjoy • The adrenal medulla is part of the sympathetic nervous system and is the body's first line of defense and response to physical and emotional stresses.
