Anatomically, the adrenal medulla develops from neural crest tissue, and it is directly controlled by sympathetic NS. The medullary cells respond to this stimulation by releasing epineprhrine (80%) or norepinephrine (20%), which can act in conjunction with the sympathetic NS to elicit the fight-or-flight response to stressors.
epinephrine, from the adrenal medulla.
Norepinephrine/Noradrenaline working with Epinephrine/Adrenaline

These are called 'sympathomimetics' - so called because they mimic the effects of sympathetic nervous system activation. A common example of a sympathomimetic drug is salbutamol, which is the active ingredient found in Asthma inhalers (the one that gives instant relief from wheezing). Salbutamol binds to an activates a subclass of beta-adrenergic receptors found in the airways. In doing so, it relaxes the bronchial muscles (bronchodilation) causing the airways to open up.

The sympathetic nervous system, as part of the peripheral nervous system, is composed of 2 types of nerves: pre-ganglionic & post-ganglionic. The preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine on postganglionic neurons to excite them. And the postganglionic neurons generally release adrenergic neurons (epinephrine or norepinephrine) on their target organs. In most cases the post-ganglionic release of epinephrine or norepinephrine acts as a neurotransmitter, except for one exception.

When stimulated by preganglionic sympathetic fibers, the adrenal glands release epinephrine (also called adrenalin) or norepinephrine (also called noradrenalin) into the blood which then acts like a hormone.

For short-term stress it is epinephrine and norepinephrine. For long-term stress it is cortisol.

What is sympathetic stimulation?

Sympathetic stimulations are signals to the body that imply stress. Sympathetic stimulation stimulates the sympathetic part of the peripheral nervous system and results in multiple response such as increased cardiac output, dilation of the pupil, inhibition of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, and erection of the penis.
