Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The adrenal medulla, the inner part of an adrenal gland, controls hormones that initiate the flight or fight response. The main hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla include epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which have similar functions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epinephrine is a hormone released from the adrenal medulla in response to stress, mediated by sympathetic fibers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Epinephrine (also called adrenaline), norepinephrine, and dopamine make up a small but important hormone family called catecholamines. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the hormones behind your “fight-or-flight” response (also called the fight, flight, or freeze response).
