The cortex produces key steroid hormones such as glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, which manage blood sugar and blood pressure, respectively. The medulla secretes adrenaline and noradrenaline during stress responses. It also mentions disorders like Addison's disease, associated with hormone deficiency, and Cushing's syndrome, caused by excess glucocorticoids.
