Question

The secretion of this gland is described as sympathomimetic.
A) Adrenal medulla
B) Pancreas
C) Adrenal cortex
D) Parathyroid

Accepted Answer

The adrenal medulla secretes catecholamines such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which have sympathomimetic effects on the body's organs and tissues. These hormones mimic the effects of sympathetic nervous system activation, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, while decreasing digestion and urinary output.
