Scope Note
The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from
ECTODERM
, adrenal medulla consists mainly of
CHROMAFFIN CELLS
that produces and stores a number of
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
, mainly adrenaline (
EPINEPHRINE
) and
NOREPINEPHRINE
. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
.
