What: "Each adrenal gland is like an M&M. The outer coating (candy shell) has three layers that release electrolytes (think Gatorade), hormones (like the ones that control blood sugar) and Cortisol (a stress steroid)." "The inside of the adrenal gland (choco-late part of M&M) releases noradrenalin(the fight or flightresponse). Noradrenalinis a neurotransmitter (brain signal) com-posed of norepinephrine and epinephrine better known as adrenalin"From page 16 of the linked pdf file.
