⚫ FUNCTIONS:
⚫ Function of adrenal medulla:
Rather than releasing a neurotransmitter, the cells of the adrenal medulla secrete hormones.
Notable effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline include increased heart rate and blood pressure, blood vessel constriction in the skin and gastrointestinal tract, blood vessel dilation in skeletal muscles all of which are characteristic of the fight-or-flight response. Release of catecholamines is stimulated by nerve impulses, and receptors for catecholamines are widely distributed throughout the body.
