Hormones secreted by the Adrenal Glands 1]Mineralocorticoids, 2]Glucocorticoids, 3]Sex Hormones
MINERALOCORTICOIDS Produced by the outermost cortex layer. Regulate mineral contend of blood. Regulate water and electrolyte balances.
GLUCOCORTICOIDS Produced by the middle cortical layer. Produces cortisone and cortisol. Control flammation.
