Question

Name a hormone (other than adrenalin) secreted by adrenals.

Answer 1

epinephrine secreted by adrenal

Answer 2

Adrenal glands secrete epinephrine and nor-epinephrine

Explanation:

Adrenal Glands are small, triangular glands that sit atop the kidneys. They are mainly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines, such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and nor-epinephrine.

Adrenal cortex, the inner and middle zone, secrete hormones hydrocortisone, also called cortisol, corticosterone, as well as small amounts of androgen hormones.

Adrenal medulla is closely related to nervous tissue and secretes the hormone epinephrine and nor-epinephrine in response to stimulation by sympathetic nerves.
