| adrenal gland |
The endocrine organs that produce adrenalin (epinephrine) in humans. They also produce many other biochemical substances (norepinephrine, and steroids). Nausicaan adrenal glands produce a unique odor. "Adrenal" can mean "near the kidneys", so it could be that the Nausicaan glands produce biochemicals similar to the human ones or simply that they are located near the kidneys.
