Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The medulla releases which of the two hormones when stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system?

A	Adrenaline, Melancholic
B	Noradrenaline, Aldosterone
C	Noradrenaline, Adrenaline
D	Epinephrine, Adrenalline

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The adrenal medulla secretes catecholamines, hormones that help your body respond to stress. Catecholamines include adrenaline and noradrenaline, also known as epinephrine and norepinephrine. Within moments, your body releases adrenal medulla hormones to boost organ functioning.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) of the CNS that is involved when a stressor is encountered is the SNS stimulation of the adrenal glands, which, releases the catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

Detailed explanation-3: -The main hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla include epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which have similar functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The adrenal medulla is a modified sympathetic prevertebral ganglion that releases epinephrine and norepinephrine into the blood (about 4:1) in response to sympathetic stimulation.
