The rate of secretion of one hormone produced by this structure is primarily affected by the concentration of angiotensin II. That hormone is responsible for controlling blood concentrations of sodium and potassium and is known as aldosterone. Cushing syndrome occurs when this organ secretes excess androgens and cortisol, while abnormally low levels of cortisol can result in Addison's Disease. For 10 points, name these glands just superior to the kidneys, which consist of both a cortex and an epinephrine- and norepinephrine-secreting medulla.
