Which of the Following is Least Associated with the Adrenal

Question

Which of the following is least associated with the adrenal medulla?
A) Catecholamines
B) Epinephrine and norepinephrine
C) Fight-or-flight response
D) Sugar, salt, and sex

Accepted Answer

The adrenal medulla is primarily responsible for the production and secretion of catecholamines, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which are involved in the body's fight-or-flight response. While the adrenal glands are also involved in regulating sugar and salt balance and producing hormones related to sex, these functions are primarily associated with the adrenal cortex, not the adrenal medulla. Therefore, D is the least associated with the adrenal medulla.
