What gland produces catecholamines?

"Catecholamines are produced mainly by the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system. Dopamine, which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is largely produced in neuronal cell bodies in two areas of the brainstem: the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area. The similarly melanin-pigmented cell bodies of the locus ceruleus produce norepinephrine." - WikipediaThe main catecholamines are epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are produced in the adrenal medulla (in the adrenal glands). Dopamine is the other, which is from neuronal cell bodies.


What is the hormone that produce the cell of the adrenal medulla?

Composed mainly of hormone-producing chromaffin cells, the adrenal medulla is the principal site of the conversion of the amino acid tyrosine into the catecholamines adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and dopamine.

Is serotonin a catecholamine?

no serotonin is not a catecholamine. Catecholamines are dopamine, epinepherine and norepinepherine.


Do Noncatecholamines cross the blood-brain barrier more readily than catecholamines?

Yes, noncatecholamines cross the BBB more readily than catecholamines, because noncatecholamines are less polarized than catecholamines.


Are haploid cells produced by mitosis?

No. Haploid cells are produced by meiosis.

Which of these is not produced by pancreatic islet cells?

Insulin is not produced by pancreatic islet cells. It is produced by beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, while glucagon is produced by alpha cells and somatostatin is produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets.
