Verified step by step guidance

Identify the function of adrenal glands in the human body. They are responsible for producing hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and response to stress.

Understand the types of hormones produced by the adrenal glands. The adrenal cortex produces corticosteroids, which include glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.

Differentiate between the hormones listed in the options: corticoids, thyroxin, melatonin, and serotonin.

Recognize that corticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, which is part of the adrenal glands.

Conclude that the correct answer is corticoids, as they are the hormones produced by the adrenal glands, unlike thyroxin (produced by the thyroid gland), melatonin (produced by the pineal gland), and serotonin (a neurotransmitter).
