Is the adrenal cortex an extension of the sympathetic nervous system?
autonomic nervous system
Which target organ is NOT affected by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system ANS?
adrenal medula
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.
Why is the parasympathetic nervous system important?
autonomic The parasympathetic nervous system is part of the nervous system.
Decreasing heart rate is under the control of what nervous division?
Parasympathetic
Is the adrenal cortex an extension of the sympathetic nervous system?
autonomic nervous system
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
Which target organ is NOT affected by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system ANS?
adrenal medula
What type of tissue system is the cortex made of?
This question can't be answered, because "cortex" refers to multiple structures within the body. It could be part of the nervous system (the cerebral cortex) or the endocrine system (the adrenal cortex), for example.

Hormones are produced by which system?
These are both hormones of the reproductive system. They are generally associated with the female body.
What target organs are affected by the sympathetic nervous system but not by the parasympathetic nervous system?
Cellular metabolism and coronary blood vessels Affected by BOTH = Gallbladder & Salivary glands
What makes norepinephrine in the endocrine system?
epinephrine and nonrepinephrine are both made by the Adrenal Glands that are located on top of the kidneys. More specifically the Adrenal Cortex (outerpart) makes those two hormones.
What system is the adrenal glands in?
The Adrenal glands belong to the Endocrine System.
What process does the parasympathetic nervous system not stimulate?
The parasympathetic nervous system does not stimulate the fight or flight response.
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 target organ of ACTH?
It is a hormone, so the target area is blood. It transfers to different organs through the blood.
