What is cortex in excretory system?
The excretory system is actually not a system onto itself, but is a shared function by several other systems, such as the urinary system, the integumentary system, the respiratory system, and the gastrointestinal system. It also does not have a cortex.
What are the functions of adrenals?
TO PRODUCE HORMONESEach adrenal gland has two distinct structures, the outeradrenal cortex and the inner medulla, both of which produce hormones. The cortex mainly producescortisol, aldosterone andandrogens, while the medulla chiefly producesepinephrine and norepinephrine.In contrast to the direct innervation of the medulla, the cortex is regulated by neuroendocrine hormones secreted from the pituitary gland which are under the control of the hypothalamus, as well as by the renin-angiotensin system.
Which is the busiest section of the brain?
I would think that the medulla would be the busiest part because it is the brain stem! The medulla is very important indeed! : )
Does the circulatory system supply blood first to the cortex then the medulla or first to the medulla then the cortex?
Technically, it supplies both at the same time, however, you could argue that the common carotid artieries (the main vessels supplying your head) reach the medulla first. Mainly because the whole cortex takes longer to be vascularized, however, we are probably talking milliseconds here. Also, the medulla receives blood vessels from the vertebral arteries, which are a branch of the subclavian artery, which is a more direct root. Hope this helps!
Interior region at the center of the adrenal gland is?
The central portion of the adrenal gland is the adrenal medulla and it is the site of synthesis and release of the epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) hormones. It's under the control of the sympathetic nervous system and basically functions like a sympathetic ganglion.
What is the system that includes the kidneys bladder and urinary tract?
It is the urinary system, your welcome thanks for asking!
The urinary system consists of all of these EXCEPT?
The urinary system includes the kidneys, urethra, bladder.
The central part of the nervous system includes the spinal cord an the?
medulla
What is the study of urinary system?
A urologist is an expert in the urinary tract. The urinary system includes the kidneys, bladder and the connective ducts i.e. urethra and ureter. The actual study of the urinary system is called urology.
What do the urinary system include?
The Urinary system includes your kidney's urethra,and your bladder:)
What controls the adrenal medulla?
Adrenal medulla are intended for much quicker response.It is an extension of the central nervous system. The cells are modified sympathetic ganglia.Acetylcholine from sympathetic neurons causes the release of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine
What does the adrenal glands do in the endocrine system?
The adrenal gland is divided into an inner adrenal medulla and an outer adrenal cortex. As the name 'adrenal' suggests, the adrenal glands secrete the peptide hormone adrenaline (epinephrine) which is involved in the fight-or-flight response. This is secreted by the adrenal medulla. The adrenal 'cortex' is involved in secreting corticosteroids, important fat-soluble hormones in the body. Since it is a gland that secretes hormones, it is known as an endocrine gland, part of the endocrine system.
