How do epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla differ from epinephrine and norepinephrine released by neurons of the sympathetic nervous system?
Describe the sympathetic function of the adrenal medulla
Cortisol stops HPA from continuing to release cortisol and continueing to stomulate sympathetic system. Why do adrenal glands continue to release cortisol during chronic stress?
a) because hypothalamus is no longer sensitive
b) chronic stress is continually activating hypothealamys
c) cortisol doesnt stop HPA from being activated
d) none of these

- During a sympathetic nervous system response to an event, your heart rate increases, indicating the part of the heart responsible for controlling heart rate (the sinoatrial node) is innervated by sympathetic nerves. The SA node is also responsive to epinephrine,a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla. Explain why the onset of the effect of the hormone is so much slower than the onset of the effect from sympathetic nerve stimulation and yet the effect of the hormone lasts much longer than the effect of nerve stimulation.arrow_forwardDuring an in vitro experiment, it is found that glucocorticoids inhibit the growth of all neural processes, therefore controlling the morphologic characteristics of the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. These modified neurons are most likely stimulated by which of the following mechanisms to release their secretory product? A) Acetylcholine release from sympathetic fibers B) Change in the rate of polymerization of metanephrine C) Decreased blood flow in cortical sinusoidal capillaries D) Downregulation of corticotropin-releasing factor E) Increased concentrations of endogenous chromogranins.arrow_forwardDraw a table to differentiate Nervous System from the Endocrine System in terms of the following: 1.
