The Adrenal Medulla Secretes _______

Question

The adrenal medulla secretes _______.
A) cortisol
B) norepinephrine
C) ACTH
D) glucocorticoids

Accepted Answer

The adrenal medulla is responsible for secreting norepinephrine along with a small amount of epinephrine, which are both catecholamines. Cortisol and glucocorticoids are primarily produced in the adrenal cortex, while ACTH is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol.
