The Adrenal Gland.
This gland is divided into two categories, the Adrenal Cortex and the Adrenal Medulla.
The Adrenal Medulla produced epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline, and the beginning of the word, "adrenal", is the same name as the gland, The Adrenal Gland.
Adrenal glands
The adrenal glands are associated with the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are both involved in the body's "fight or flight" response to stress. These hormones help prepare the body for intense physical activity by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and mobilizing energy stores.
Epinephrine & Norepinephrine (NE)
cat.e.cho.la.mine (kt-kl-mn, -kô-) n. Any of a group of amines derived from catechol that have important physiological effects as neurotransmitters and hormones and include epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Hypoglycemia stimulates the production of hormones like glucagon and epinephrine. These hormones help to increase blood sugar levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen stores in the liver, as well as stimulating the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
epinephrine and norepinephrine
The adrenal hormones epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine.
Water-soluble hormones. Insulin and epinephrine
Adrenal medulla
Water-soluble hormones. Insulin and epinephrine
The connection between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus is necessary for survival because specific releasing hormones in the hypothalamus trigger the production and release of hormones made in the ant. pit. Seeing how the secretion of epinephrine would be triggered in the adrenal medula by a hormone produced in the ant. pit., I believe that the secretion of epinephrine would not occur if the connection between the hypothalamus and ant. pit. were to be severed.
It is an amine attached to a catechol group thus the name catecholamine, they are naturally occurring hormones and nerotransmitters such as: dopamine, epinephrine & nor-epinephrine.
