Abstract

Small in size but powerful in influence, the adrenal glands and their hormones are necessary to sustain life and maintain homeostasis. If not detected in a timely fashion, adrenal disorders can have fatal consequences. This articles reviews the anatomy and physiology of the adrenal glands and, with the use of case studies, considers many disorders of the adrenal glands, including Cushing's disease, aldosteronism, hyperaldosteronism, and Addison's disease.
