The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body. They are served by several arteries branching off the aorta, including the suprarenal and renal arteries. Blood flows to each adrenal gland at the adrenal cortex and then drains into the adrenal medulla.

It explains the brain's interpretation of stress, outlining how the sympathetic response prepares the body for "fight, flight, or freeze" actions. It also covers the effects of chronic stress on health, highlighting the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary response.

Amine hormones are derived from amino acids, including melatonin and thyroid hormones. Peptide hormones, like insulin, are formed from amino acid chains, while steroid hormones come from cholesterol and include reproductive hormones.

Selye sought to highlight the positive aspects of stress, though the dominant perception still tends to focus on its negative effects, primarily arising from unpleasant stressors. Positive challenges, when enjoyed, can lead to beneficial outcomes without negative stress-related symptoms.

The outer cortex produces hormones like cortisol and aldosterone for long-term stress and metabolic function, while the inner medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine for immediate responses. Together, they manage physiological and psychological stressors.
