The adrenal medulla has many similarities with post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons, they release catecholamine because medullary cells are derived from the neural crest and, as such, are simply modified neurons. The adrenal gland releases epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine in response to neural not hormonal signals just like postganglionic neurons. The most significant different between adrenal medulla cells and true postganglionic sympathetic neurons is the absence of axons. The neurotrasmitter has become a hormone and is released into the blood.

What endocrine gland develops from the sympathetic nervous system?
Adrenal medulla
What do adrenal medulla evolve from?
They evolve from prostganglionic neurons of the sympathetic fibre.
Adrenaline and norepinephrine are produced in the adrenal?
Adrenal Medulla
What neurotransmitter is produced in the brain and by the adrenal glands?
Little quantity of noradrenaline (epinephrine) is released by adrenal medulla.
What parts of the body receive only sympathetic fibers?
adrenal medulla, sweat glands, arrector pili muscles of the skin, kidneys, most blood vessels
What gland is a modified sympathetic ganglion that produces amine hormones?
the adrenal medulla
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 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 usually stimulates release of hormones from the adrenal medulla?
Sympathetic stimulation of the chromaffmin cells of the adrenal medulla stimulates the release of their catecholamines. The neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
What stimulates the adrenal medulla to secrete its excitatory hormones?
preganglionic sympathetic fibers releasing acetylcholine that bind to receptors on the adrenal medulla
What endocrine gland develops from the sympathetic nervous system?
Adrenal medulla
What do adrenal medulla evolve from?
They evolve from prostganglionic neurons of the sympathetic fibre.
What secretes norepinephrine?
The answer is sympathetic post-ganglionic axon
When the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated its effects can be prolonged by secretions of the?
When the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system us activated its effects can be prolonged by the secretions of the epinephrine by the adrenal medulla. Adrenal medulla is the inner most part of the adrenal gland.Ê
What target tissues are innervated by only neurons from the sympathetic nervous system?
adrenal medulla
The nerve fibers that stimulate secretions from cells of the adrenal medulla are best described as?
sympathetic
Adrenaline and norepinephrine are produced in the adrenal?
Adrenal Medulla
