What part of the brain produces dopamine?
the brain does not produce epinephrine, it is produced by the adrenal glands, which are near the kidneys.
Which hormone controls the fight or flight response?
The sympathetic nervous system. The hypothalamus, in close association with the limbic system of the brain. The "fight or flight" response is the term used for the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The two main chemicals invoved here are the neurotransmitter "norepinephrine" (noradrenaline) and the hormone "epinephrine" (adrenaline). Noradrenaline is produced in the neurones and is secreted at the synapse to exert its "sympathetic" activity on various organs throughout the body. The nervous system is also responsible for eliciting epinephrine production from the adrenal medulla (a part of the suprarenal glands situtated on the top of each kidney).
What substance is produced and released by neurons in the brain?
The substance that is produced and released by neurons in the brain is a hormone called dopamine. It acts as a neurotransmitter that sends signals between nerve cells.
Where are glands found?
In a single person there are seven major endocrine glands: Pineal gland (brain), pituitary gland (brain), pancreas (abdomen), thyroid gland (throat), thymus (chest), adrenal gland (abdomen), ovary in females (abdomen), and testis in males (groin). The exocrine glands are sweat glands, mammary glands, salivary glands, and the liver.
What neurotransmitter functions as a common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain?
GABA (Gamma-AminoButyric Acid) is the most common neurotransmitter producing inhibition in the brain.
What part of the brain produces dopamine?
the brain does not produce epinephrine, it is produced by the adrenal glands, which are near the kidneys.
Would a person's brain release more adrenaline if they hadn't slept for awhile?
The brain does not produce adrenaline, that is produced only by the adrenal glands.
Where is the norepinephrine located?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals produced in and around the nervous system of animals. They are present in all of the nerve cells, but predominately in the ganglia or nerve bundles of invertebrates, and in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) of vertebrates. There are many kinds of neurotransmitter chemicals.
What does hypothalamus do on the brain?
The hypothalamus is the brain's control center. It gives signals to adrenal glands to secrete certain chemicals.

What gland is responsible for the bodys short term response to stress?
There are a few components in the body which control the response to stress. These glands are the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain, and the adrenal glands which are located on the kidneys.

Where is the hormone testosterone produced?
Testosterone is produced by specialized cells in the testis, ovaries and the adrenal glans.Testosterone is the type of androgen produced by endocrinal cells of testis known as interstitial cells or Leydig's cells,scattered in connective tissue between the sperm-producing seminiferous tubules of the testes.
