These organs are influenced by corticoptropin hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, which is in turn influenced by the hypothalamus to secrete those hormones. The hormones cause the creation of corticosteroids in the cortex of these organs. The cortex also produces androgen hormones as well as aldosterone. The medulla of these glands has an entirely different function from the cortex and is not necessary for life. It produces a hormone which helps regulate blood pressure, as well as one to regulate metabolic processes, heart rate, and smooth muscle relaxation.
