autonomic nervous system
no it is cholinergic
The adrenal medulla, the inner part of the adrenal gland, is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates the release of catecholamines like adrenaline and noradrenaline during stress. In contrast, the adrenal cortex, the outer layer, is regulated by hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland and other factors like the renin-angiotensin system and cortisol levels, which influence its production of corticosteroids.
The two kinds of cortex are the cerebral cortex and the adrenal cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain involved in higher brain functions, while the adrenal cortex is the outer portion of the adrenal gland responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone.
epinephrine is created in the adrenal medulla, the adrenal cortex is responsible for the production of cortisol.
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).
The adrenal medulla is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system through the release of the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine). These signals originate in the hypothalamus and travel down the spinal cord to stimulate the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline in response to stress or danger.

Adrenal cortex
The inner region of the adrenal gland is called the adrenal medulla. It secretes hormones such as adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in response to stress or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. These hormones help the body respond to "fight or flight" situations by increasing heart rate, blood flow, and energy availability.
The adrenal glands (cortex) produce mineralocorticoids. One of these is aldosterone which regulates sodium levels.
The adrenal medulla, the inner part of the adrenal gland, is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates the release of catecholamines like adrenaline and noradrenaline during stress. In contrast, the adrenal cortex, the outer layer, is regulated by hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland and other factors like the renin-angiotensin system and cortisol levels, which influence its production of corticosteroids.
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
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.
Cortex refers to the outer section of something. Some examples are the cortex of the adrenal gland, or the cortex of the brain.
Aldosterone, Cortisol and some testosterone are all secreted by the adrenal cortex
Cannon-Bard theory
The two kinds of cortex are the cerebral cortex and the adrenal cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain involved in higher brain functions, while the adrenal cortex is the outer portion of the adrenal gland responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone.
