Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adrenal cortex produces hormones such as cortisol, which plays a role in regulating the immune system. If the adrenal cortex is not functioning properly, it can lead to a weakened immune system. The other parts of the endocrine system listed (adrenal medulla, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland) do not have as direct of a role in immune system functioning.
