Detailed explanation-1: -The inner part of the adrenal gland (a small organ on top of each kidney). The adrenal medulla makes chemicals such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) which are involved in sending nerve signals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. The adrenal medulla, which is composed of pheochromoblasts/chromaffin cells, forms the gray core of the adrenal gland. These cells synthesize and store the catecholamines norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The adrenal cortex takes part in steroidogenesis, producing glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgen precursors. It has 3 distinct functional and histological zones: the zona glomerulosa (outermost layer), the zona fasciculata (middle layer), and the zona reticularis (innermost layer).
